The Lights of the Samuel Beckett Bridge
The Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin and the lights of the Convention Centre Dublin fight for attention. Red and Green lights reflect off the River Liffey on a warm October evening earlier this year.
Lines in the crops
A tractors trail leads off to the end of the field near Kilcrea Friary in Co Cork.
A Tour of Coventry Music Museum
Last June I visited The Coventry Music Museum. It’s a wonderful experience for anyone who knows anything about Ska music. After hearing the sad news that Terry Hall passed away I had to dig up these photos for you. There were so many nice messages on Mastodon this morning on the #TerryHall hashtag I think…
Oscar in the snow
Twelve years ago today, it had snowed heavily in Blarney. I took Oscar out for a walk that morning and brought my camera along because of the snow! I don’t think he really minded the cold, but he was always happy to get home, snow or not!
Hope for Happiness
A man on the streets of Madrid laughs as he grabs a friend’s arm.
The Ferris Wheel after Sunset
The Ferris Wheel on Grand Parade in Cork pictured just after sunset, in December 2016. This year the wheel is further up the street so you can’t get this photo now. I haven’t been in town at sunset this month either but hopefully someone got a nice sunset photo of the wheel this year.
My comfortable Pets
First up is Hoppy. She’s around 13 and only has three legs but she’s a fast mover. In the past she didn’t mind the cold but now she likes to avoid it. Here’s Mommy Cat. She’s Hoppy’s mom. She’s around 16 as best we can guess, as she was around for a few years before…
Get Tsingtao Beer in San Francisco!
Walking down a street in San Francisco and this sign for Tsingtao Beer caught my eye. This was taken in 2007, during an Automattic meetup, which later became known as a Grand Meetup. In 2007, the company was so small, it wasn’t so Grand, but it was Great!
Gardai in the shop
Gardai enter a shop on Grafton Street, late one evening in October this year. Their uniforms match the bright yellow shop colours.
A Garda car in the rain
A Garda car speeds past with lights flashing outside Trinity in Dublin a few weeks back. Rain made the evening miserable, but I had an umbrella and there were still loads of people about.
Frosty Spider Webs
Spider webs covered in a thick frost this morning in my back garden. It is cold outside!
Nollaig Shona ó Chorcaigh
The “Nollaig Shona Duit” signs at both ends of St. Patrick’s Street in Cork are all lit up again this year.
