The Human League
Filed in Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Music, People, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, South Main Street, UrbanThe Human League played to a packed crowd in Cork last night.

New Age Folk in Bishop Lucey Park
Filed in Candid, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, UrbanThe hippies were out in force in Bishop Lucey Park on Saturday as the new age folk made their presence felt at a “Peace in the Park” mini festival.
