Union Square from afar
Union Square in San Francisco as seen from my floor at the hotel we stayed in.
Housing market slow?
The Irish housing market is slowing down but sales are still being made.
A tiny house down the road from this one in Blarney sold a few weeks ago even though I’m sure you could hardly swing a cat in it …
Parked Motorbikes
Two motorbikes parked on the South Mall attracted my attention especially as a strong sun reflected off the clean chrome.

An ESB van passes a pole with a Rossport Shell-to-sea campaign flyer on it.

A fire hydrant in San Francisco. Given the history of the city, there are hydrants everywhere ..
SF Baseball cap
A baseball cap on the sidewalk in San Francisco attracted my attention while out walking. I wonder who lost it?

I just love the sign on top of the building. Totally out of place amid the beautiful architecture and detail of it’s resting place.
Light reflects on the Lough
Light trails from passing cars and street lights reflect on the calm surface of the Lough in Cork in this long exposure shot.
Expired Meter
An expired meter I spotted while we waited for a table to become free in a restaurant in San Francisco a few blocks from Union Square.
