Hussey’s Folly caught in the light
Hussey’s Folly at the mouth of Dingle Harbour as it was caught by the rays of the sun. This was almost exactly four years ago, at the height of the Covid pandemic. Apparently, Covid levels are just as high now and the latest strain is quite nasty too. It will always be with us. 🙁…

The Cork Pride Flag
One of the (many) highlights of the Cork Pride parade is the massive rainbow flag that accompanies the marchers through the city. It was unfurled on Grand Parade where a jubilant crowd carried it and waved it in preparation for the trip around the city. I noticed a bump in the middle, and saw the…

The Commandant’s House
The Commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, lived in the large house at the end of this road. It sits right outside the concentration camp where so many people were put to death, but a family lived here, and they are the subject of a 2023 movie, The Zone of Interest. When I visited the camp…

80th anniversary of Warsaw Uprising
Young men climbed on a public toilet in the centre of Warsaw this afternoon to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising. At 5pm, sirens rang out and suddenly red flares were lit as a large cargo plane flew overhead. Smoke from the flares filled the air, and it got noticeably cooler as the…

St Kinga’s Chapel in the Salt Mine
Buried deep underground in the Wieliczka Salt Mine is a huge man made chamber called St Kinga’s Chapel. It’s quite a sight to see after wandering down tunnel and after tunnel. You come across chambers on the way there, but this one is the special one, and it’s a consecrated Catholic Church where they hold…
