Wanna Go Home
Loud music, lots of strangers, a concrete jungle. I think this dog wants to go running in the fields. Pictured on Sunday afternoon, Paul Street, Cork.
Tree in shadow
A tree in the grounds of Blarney Castle. Yesterday morning there was a glorious sunrise, this morning it was horrible. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!
The fugitive can’t run fast enough!
The 96FM Fugitive is a character listeners of Cork radio station 96FM watch out for as DJs on the radio station give out clues as to his whereabouts. Find him and you'll win a cash prize! A few weeks ago they told people he was in Blarney and I was asked at least three times...
Smile
The beautiful smiling woman in the background is on a poster covering one of the front windows of the old Moderne premises on St Patrick's Street, Cork. While out with Blarney Photography Club we stopped to make some photos of this striking yellow background with passers by in front. There were five of us there...
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...
Almost flooded at the castle
The River Martin flows through the grounds of Blarney Castle in Co Cork and after recent heavy rain the river was very high.
The Blarney Roses
Beautiful roses at the entrance to Blarney Castle in Co Cork, Ireland.
La Cueva de los Verdes
La Cueva de los Verdes is a seven kilometre long volcanic cave on the island of Lanzarote. One kilometre of it is open to the public and it's amazing to visit. It was formed almost 5,000 years ago by lava that flowed from a volcano to the sea and it's incredible to think of the...
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...
