From North Side to County
A sight well known to anyone who lives in Cork City. The Spire of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells stands like a beacon. The Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne is just off shot to the right, out of this shot. The County Hall can be seen far off in the distance out…

On the Onyar River
The Onyar River flows through the city of Girona in Spain. Photographed in August when I was surprised to see any water at all considering the dreadful drought that hit Europe in the summer. Colourful buildings line the banks of the river and the Cathedral can be seen in the background of a clear blue…

Diego, king of the castle
Who rules this house? The animals do! Diego, our tiny chihuahua, sits in a bed sometimes claimed by one of our cats, Hoppy. She was very unhappy that Diego was in there. He’s the king of all he sees. Isn’t he handsome in his new jacket? It’s lovely and warm and made with love by…

Herre’s the plane
From the Lee Fields, in August this year. A construction crane working on the student accommodation with an aeroplane that took off from Cork Airport high above it and rising fast, off somewhere, hopefully warm.

It was still raining afterwards, but some of us stopped outside to…

Blarney Castle Through the Rock

Korey Power on Patrick Street
My wife and I came across Korey Power singing on Patrick Street, in front of Brown Thomas. A small but enthusiastic crowd gathered to listen. He has a great voice! Yes, a gentleman in the background was dancing and enjoying the music too. Did a fine job of it! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length…

Waiting for the Train in Chicago
Many years ago, in August 2003, I was waiting for the L in Chicago to bring me to work. Edit in 2024: I remembered this was Fullerton from the sign to the far right of the image, so I added it to Google Maps there. It looks like it’s the oldest photo for that station…

Susan Ann Sulley of The Human League
Way back in 2012, The Human League played in Cork. Here’s a photo of singer, Susan Ann Sulley that night. Phil Oakey is to her right but I decided she should have the attention in this photo! Aperture ƒ/5.6 Camera Canon EOS 40D Focal length 144mm ISO 800 Shutter speed 1/80s
