17 October 2009 - Signs of Quebec Industry
On the journey into Quebec City from where we’re staying it’s impossible not to miss the plumes of steam (and smoke?) rising from a number of buildings, seemingly right in the middle of an urban area.
According to our guide the buildings contain a cigarette factory and a paper recycling plant. Up close one of the buildings looked like it was on fire as white steam/smoke escaped from dozens of chimneys on the roof and possibly at the side of the building.
In the foreground are parts of the old City Wall.
16 October 2009 - Night Over Quebec
Night falls over Quebec as we finish our tour and photowalk around the city. ISO 1600 came in very useful as the sky got darker! Pictured here are a few of the buildings just outside the old city walls. I think the Hilton is the building on the right.
4 October 2009 - St Patrick and the Volkswagen
A Volkswagen Beetle parked across the road from St. Patrick’s Catholic Church on the Lower Glanmire Road in Cork. The church was built in 1840. The car, not so old.
Shot on the recent photowalk in the city.
3 October 2009 - Blarney Sunrise
Sunrise, as seen from my home office here in Blarney about 3 weeks ago. The weather was great in September. Much better than it was in August.
2 October 2009 - North Cathedral Framed
The North Cathedral, Cork as seen from a window of St. Anne’s Tower or Shandon Bells.
30 September 2009 - Cobh in Black and WhiteA dump of the b/w images I shot in Cobh over the weekend. It was a strictly “stroll around and do nothing” day (so sorry Conor for not calling in!) as Adam was being minded by my sister.
As I said a few days ago, I shot everything in black and white and I’m pleased with the results. From about the shots of the rope on I used RAW+Jpeg but I still prefer the b/w images.
Hope something here takes your fancy!

10 September 2009 - Clouds hang over CUMH
Clouds hang over Cork University Maternity Hospital.
8 September 2009 - Chemtrails and Clouds and Evening Sky
I’ve already covered the chemtrails conspiracy but they’re such a frequent and visible part of the sky that I have to shoot them sometimes.
This was taken in Blarney, the trail is from a high flying plane going west to the USA.
Arrangements for the photowalk on the 26th are surging ahead. Pat got in touch to say we can shoot from the roof of the Montenotte Hotel where we meet. The speedboat is organised (max 4 passengers but I won’t be going, stomach is still feeling fragile!) and then a complementary lunch for all photowalkers in the Boardwalk Bar & Grill around noon. See the photowalk post if you’re interested in staying in the hotel on the previous night.
Should be the best photowalk yet!
