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.
15 October 2009 - County Hall and the Chimney
Cork County Hall, as seen from a nearby hill in Sunday’s Well.
Argh! I hate coming up with blog post titles.
13 October 2009 - Gangsters
Gangster’s Barbers, somewhere in London. I couldn’t tell you where. Matt was driving.
10 October 2009 - Wait For Me!
A pigeon in Cork, somewhere.
I’m in Quebec. It’s raining a bit but hopefully I’ll get out this morning for a look around. Luggage still hasn’t arrived, but someone rang at 2am to say it would be delivered here. Yay.
8 October 2009 - Around by St. Luke’s
A white van rounds the corner at St. Luke’s Church at St Luke’s Cross in Cork. Taken on the photowalk a few weeks back.
7 October 2009 - Corned Brisket
One of the many butchers in The English Market. I’ve had brisket a few times, but only ever in the USA. Doesn’t seem to be a popular cut of meat here.
Taken on the World Wide Photowalk on July 18th.
6 October 2009 - Parked Cars on South Mall
Cars parked on South Mall, Cork. The financial district of the city.
5 October 2009 - Páirc Uí Chaoimh
Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Blackrock, Cork. It’s named after Pádraig Ó Caoimh (no relation), “a native of Roscommon, this War of Independence veteran became secretary of the Cork County Board at 21, and he began a 35-year stint as General-Secretary of the GAA barely a decade later”(ref)
Michael Jackson and U2 have both played here in the distant past.
Shot from the roof of the Montenotte Hotel during our last photowalk. You can also see the Marina, the River Lee and Lough Mahon in the distance.
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.
