Oscar on the Shaky Bridge
Oscar, our Shih Tzu, on the Shaky Bridge just outside Fitzgerald’s Park in Cork. I think he prefers solid ground!
Dunnes Stores in Ruins
The skeleton of the Dunnes Stores building on Patrick’s Street lies in ruins as building work continued to refurbish it. Taken in September 2007, Brian took a shot of the building a few days ago in much better state! Places are still available for the Cork City Photowalk on July 18th! Please leave comments on…
Cab 3181
San Francisco will be the gathering place for a large number of WordPress fans at the end of the month as they go to the 2009 San Francisco WordCamp. I won’t be there unfortunately but places are already in short supply, if not all sold out at this stage. It’s going to be a blast!…
One Bridge to Mizen Head
The bridge to Mizen Head Lighthouse is a landmark itself, photographed many times over the years. I have a few more shots of this bridge to share with you in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! We saw Honeymoon Cabaret perform their unique brand of street theatre in Douglas this afternoon and very enjoyable it was…
Netting and Wheel
Fishing tackle, lobster pots, nets and a wheel lie on the quay in Bantry Harbour, County Cork.

Nuclear powered lighthouse anybody? PS. This is…
Under the Shaky Bridge
The Shaky Bridge over the River Lee in Cork is just outside Fitzgerald’s Park.
Flowers and Peeling Paint
Flowers poke through the peeling paint of an ornate garden fence or border. I can’t decide for myself what I should call that. The name of those flowers is on the tip of my tongue too but eludes me. Blame the tiredness.
Mama Mia’s
Mama Mia’s Restaurant in Kinsale. I have a vague memory of eating there late one night after the pubs closed.
Pedestrian Crossing
The pedestrian crossing outside Eason (I always say “Eason’s”, but it really is “Eason”. Just like Porter’s is “Porter”. These newsagents are a picky bunch!) where young and old traverse the street in relative safety. Yes, it’s the current header image on this blog. If you’re reading this in the future when I may have…
No Parking On This Side
During the Tour of Ireland last summer parking wasn’t allowed in Blarney. Not everyone takes notice of signs!
The Village Laundry
The Village Laundry in Glengarriff, Co Cork, pictured almost a year ago. Love that deep purple on the walls!
