It’s for me’o!
It’s still cold, but following up on my recent photo outside a gelato shop, here’s another one, on the corner of Patrick’s Street and Winthrop Street in Cork. I love ice cream too, but maybe not enough to eat it on a cold wintery day, outside!
A crack of sunlight
There was almost complete cloud cover the other night over Cork as we attempted to photograph the setting sun behind St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, as it’s known locally. A few minutes before the official sunset, the horizon caught on fire and briefly lit up. It didn’t last long, and the transition between daylight…
Stars on the North Side
Cathedral Road was busy on yesterday evening and can be seen as light streaks in this five second exposure of the Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, or North Cathedral. The Church of the Ascension is seen at the top of the image, with its distinctive red cross glowing in the dark.
Listen to the radio
A man sits at one of the tables outside Gino’s Gelato listening to the radio. It was a cold day, and he was dressed for the weather, as were the people nearby. That ice-cream shop was still selling delicious treats to customers!
Alexandre III Bridge at Night
The Alexandre III Bridge in Paris was a beautiful sight to see. Unfortunately, there were road works on the bridge and traffic was busy, so you had to be careful where you went. A large group of Japanese tourists spent an age taking photos with the bridge in the background. They even had lights on…
A man and the R&H Hall
As we were photographing the R&H Hall building the other morning, Henry spotted a boat, the Simon Princess, sailing towards us. I thought the boat might pull in on the other side of the river, but no, it stopped just a few metres away. As it passed slowly, I caught a nice photo of one…
The Valencia Dancers
Dancers who had just been performing in a square in Valencia relax for a few moments.
Hen Party in Kinsale
A hen party heading out on the town in Kinsale recently. Braving the cold weather, but I hope they had a great time. 🙂
The Lights Have Stars
A car drove towards me a few nights ago while I was playing around with an 8 star filter on my camera. Most of the time it’s totally overdone, but I liked how this came, especially as the headlights are reflected in the bus shelter.
A haven for blue in Kinsale
The entrance to the Blue Haven Hotel in Kinsale, Co. Cork. Truly, a haven for the colour blue in a lovely town.
The Kennedy Quay Skyline
Kennedy Quay this morning as the sun rose, with R&H Hall in the centre of the image, as this skyline will disappear in the next few months. Note: the sky has been replaced. It was a very dull, overcast day. Hopefully, this is more pleasing to the eye. The old R&H Hall building has not…
R&H Hall in Cork City
The R&H Hall building looms over Kennedy Quay as seen from Michael Collins Bridge today. It’s going to be demolished this year, so if you want to record “what once was” on the site, get down there soonest! This Irish Examiner article talks about the demolition, and includes this picture of what will replace it….
