A selfie with the Eiffel Tower

A young woman poses for a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower as it is all lit up. Other people are sitting down nearby. The Eiffel Tower is reflected in the waters of the Fontaine du Jardin du Trocadéro.

A woman poses for a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. There’s rain in the air and others are sheltering under umbrellas. I have my camera out on a tripod to take photos, of course!

Shandon Bells and Houses

The spire of St. Anne's Church (Shandon Bells) rises above the surrounding houses and street next to it at sunset with cloudy skies overhead.

Shandon Bells, seen from a slightly different perspective than the one at Bell’s Field we’re used to. It’s surrounded by houses and roads, and even by the nearby brewery, of which you can see a small portion of in this photo.

Don’t look back

A woman on her phone looks over her shoulder at some commotion, off camera, that has caught her attention. We’ll never know what.

Mirrors at Cyprus Avenue

We went to see Mirrors, a local Cork band, play at Cyrpus Avenue, on Friday night. Wow. What a sound. The crowd loved them!

Check out Echoes, one of their songs, on YouTube.

The Marina will be improved

A cyclist reads a sign next to a road. The sign is blurred due to a narrow depth of field, but is about the Marina Promenade Improvement Works.

A cyclist on the Marina in Cork reads a sign showing some of the improvements to be expected as work progresses on improving that road and the surrounding.

The National Space Centre at night

The National Space Centre at Elfordstown in Co. Cork is lit up at night. A large central dish is seen at the end of a road, some buildings underneath, a large radio tower next to it and a small dish visible to the left. Stars revolve in the sky in this long exposure shot.

A few of us visited the National Space Centre in Elfordstown in Co. Cork the other night to make some photos, and maybe photograph the Aurora if possible.

No sign of the aurora, but the Space Center is a sight to see itself.

Thanks Henry, for organising the trip! Check out his amazing photo of the location.

Tree Silhouette Sunset

Trees create silhouettes against the setting sun in West Cork this afternoon. The grand auld stretch of thirteen minutes and fifty-five seconds was very noticeable.

Hungry for Ramen

Two young men sitting on a couch, waiting to go into Buga Ramen. One holds a menu. A women looks in from the street, while signs hang on the wall, and one wall is made up of lanterns.

The very colourful Buga Ramen in Valencia is eye catching. The food is really nice there too, but you might have to wait at busy times!

An umbrella in the rain

It's raining and some people are carrying umbrellas to protect themselves from the downpour. Others walk around without, along a street.

Sometimes all you need is an umbrella. When it’s raining, it’s the best thing.

The Lights to the Church

Christmas lights line a wall heading to Abbeystrewry Church in Skibereen, Co Cork. Brightening up a dull, overcast, day with a cheery glow.

Sweep away the old year

A man uses a large brush to sweep the stret. He is wearing reflective gear, gloves and a woollen beanie.

2023 is almost over here in Ireland. How’s 2024 in Australia? Let’s say goodbye to what has been a mixed year and hope for a better 2024.

Happy new year!

Edit a short while later: I shouldn’t have asked about Australia. They’re suffering from a terrible heatwave of 49.5℃!

Lionel Richie hates this one trick

There’s no ceiling on this building. For the younger reader, watch. 🙂

This long derelict building in Skibereen is an unfortunate eyesore that’s surrounded by a lively town, and shops and buildings decorated for the Christmas season. It stands opposite the entrance to the lovely Abbeystrewry Church and nearby Aldi.

I went back in time through Google Street View, and it has been abandoned and derelict since at least 2009! What a waste.
