Still Pushing Buggies
A new book featuring pictures of Cork was published recently, Cork in the 1960s. The front cover is a photo of two women pushing a buggy and a pram on St. Patrick’s Street. I was on that street today and when I saw the book in the window of Waterstones I had to make this…
The Blarney Roses
Beautiful roses at the entrance to Blarney Castle in Co Cork, Ireland.
In a world of their own
This couple were engrossed in conversation walking across the busy junction of Washington Street and The Grand Parade without waiting for the lights. A moment later the man looked towards traffic and put his hand out to stop a car that was heading towards them! Unbelievable. Day 5 of ?#?FiveDayBlackAndWhiteChallenge?. Since I was tagged 3…
The Curious Cow
One of the cows in a field on the grounds of Blarney Castle, Co Cork, Ireland. I’m not entirely happy with the cow in the background on the right but, meh. I love the texture of the cow’s hair on it’s face. Day 4 of #FiveDayBlackAndWhiteChallenge?. Plenty more images to come!
Charcoal Grill
A lady in sunglasses caught me red handed taking a picture of her at the stall she was at in Patrick’s Street, Cork in July 2013 during some street festival. Day 3 of the ?#?FiveDayBlackAndWhiteChallenge on Facebook for me and I was tagged by Ronan a few minutes ago to do it all over again…
St. Peter’s Church, Bandon
This is a Church of Ireland church in Bandon, Co Cork that’s off the usual route for commuters passing through the town. I’ve only ever been up that direction once or twice despite having passed through the town hundreds of times! It’s a beautiful looking building but I’ve never been inside and there are few…
Blarney Tree in Fog
This is a tree that once stood in a large field near Blarney Castle, Co Cork, Ireland. It stood alone and was sometimes visible from the road but unfortunately it was chopped down a few weeks ago. This was shot in February 2014 on a foggy, cold morning. I was nominated on Facebook by two…
One Albert Quay Development
Albert Quay will soon be the site of a glass fronted office block, either 7 stories or 9 stories high. Here are a few photos of the site as it was over the last month. Not much to see except rubble and machinery. The well known front of the building will be coming down soon…
My Creepy Daddy Long Legs
I found this little Daddy Long Legs Crane Fly on the window of my car about a week ago. It was a chilly morning so I doubt he lasted long.
The Love Hate Tattoo Crowd
A new “Love Hate Social Club tattoo shop” opened in Cork today with a bang, or at least a party. There was a big crowd outside from 6pm on waiting to get in and join the party. I hadn’t a notion what was going on, and still don’t except it has something to do with…
