The Weir in Ballincollig Regional Park
On a particularly foggy morning in December 2002 I wandered around Ballincollig Regional Park. I photographed the weir that morning in the mist.

The sun sets on Ardmore Roundtower & Graveyard

The block behind it was nearing completion and what used to be a medical office was exposed to the elements when builders demolished half of that building. Take a look at it in…
