The Istanbul Skyline
This is part of the Asian side of Istanbul in Turkey. My first time in Asia too, even if I only ventured a few kilometres in! Our guide said they’re trying to encourage more people to live on this side of the city, but from what I could see, it stretched on almost to distant…

Scooter Delivery Through Historic Streets
We were walking up a narrow street near the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul when I heard a bell of a scooter ring out. The crowds parted and a young man on a scooter with a foot on heavy looking bags zipped past at speed! I can’t imagine that was a smooth ride on those cobbles……

Under a Turkish Sky
We visited the Çamlıca Tepesi yl (Çamlıca Hill) in Istanbul last week. It’s a hill on the eastern side of the city. There is a huge Turkish flag flying from a massively tall flagpole, and you can see out over the Asian side of the city from the nearby park. The city just seems to…

A Splash of Colour
This is the sort of contrasts you’ll see in Cork City during the Jazz weekend. Loads of people dressed to go out for the night, surrounded by shoppers and families dressed for a late October day. The music on the street was great! Aperture ƒ/2.8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 160 Shutter speed 1/500s

The water under our feet
Some people were surprised to find there was a large covered over tunnel below Grand Parade when the Cork Main Drainage Scheme dug up the road near Daunt Square in 2005. The street used to be part of the river, so I guess the water had to go somewhere, but it also highlights just how…

Arco de la Victoria and lightstreaks

A Chimney in silhouette
Many years ago, I photographed the sunset over the North Side of Cork City, using the silhouette of a roof and chimney as a foreground. This is so long ago that I used a 2MP Fuji, my second digital camera. Aperture ƒ/2.8 Camera FinePix2800ZOOM Focal length 22.4mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/17s

A mirror of a mural
What caught my eye when I saw this in front of me in Bishop Lucey Park, was the man leaning against the railing seemed to mirror the pose of the figure in the large mural on the wall. The park itself is closed off now. This is a picture of a bygone era. Can’t wait…
