Keeping an Eye on the Youngsters Below
The tower of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, towers over the surrounding buildings and is visible from the big wheel on Grand Parade. Behind it is the North Cathedral and the distinctive roof of the Firkin Crane is off to the left. In the foreground is the brand-new Capitol building. First time on the…

The Car Park’s Secret Disco Portal
The big wheel on Grand Parade in Cork spins and makes a lovely shape when captured by a long exposure shot. Also missing from this are a few friends who thankfully kept walking back and forth so they wouldn’t be captured in the image!
The Undertones in Cork
The Undertones played in Cyprus Avenue tonight and they were amazing!
The boats of Cape Clear
Some of the boats docked at the harbour in Cape Clear, Co Cork. This was in August 2013, the last time I’ve been there, when we walked up and down the hills of the island and enjoyed the sunny day.
Dusk’s Divine Dance
Just as the sun set on a beautiful December evening, I photographed St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral in the distance, with the big wheel on the Grand Parade in the foreground. I love that people on the big wheel were waving! December 10th, 2016.
Keem Beach in the Sun
The lovely Keem Beach on Achill Island, photographed in 2019. It’s a beautiful part of Ireland that I would love to visit again some day.

A long exposure photo of the Yeni Camii in Istanbul, with the entrance to a small shopping mall in the foreground. Steps lead down, under a busy road, and vendors have set up shops down there selling all sorts of goods. The Yeni Camii is also known as the “New Mosque”, even though it was…
Where Cathedrals and Carnivals Collide
St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork can be seen in the background behind the big wheel on The Grand Parade, in Cork, tonight. I didn’t expect any sunset because there would be so much low cloud, but there was a tiny spec of colour on the horizon. At times, the underside of the cloud was…
The Panoramic Wheel Spectacle
The ferris wheel, or big wheel, or Panoramic Wheel as it’s known to it’s owners, on Grand Parade. We had some fun photographing it from the car park across the street. Henry has a photo of the wheel on his Instagram account too.
Red Brick and Stone
Following on from yesterday’s photo of Shandon Bells, here’s another one taken nine years earlier in 2007, on a day when it was about to rain, but the sun came out for one final glimpse of Cork before the wet enveloped the city. You can see Shandon Bells, the North Cathedral, SS Peter & Paul’s…
Cork’s Spiritual Heights
The historic spire of St. Anne’s Church, Shandon Bells, rises out of the mist, with the North Cathedral, the Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, behind it. In the foreground is the roof of SS Peter & Paul’s Church and the nearby Presbytery. This was photographed on December 10th, 2016. Just a day over…
