Blarney Castle, as seen through the rock they set up in the grounds below the Castle. Not a great shot, but one to mark off the list.

My wife and I came across Korey Power singing on Patrick Street, in front of Brown Thomas. A small but enthusiastic crowd gathered to listen. He has a great voice! Yes, a gentleman in the background was dancing and enjoying the music too. Did a fine job of it!

Many years ago, in August 2003, I was waiting for the L in Chicago to bring me to work. Edit in 2024: I remembered this was Fullerton from the sign to the far right of the image, so I added it to Google Maps there. It looks like it’s the oldest photo for that station…

Way back in 2012, The Human League played in Cork. Here’s a photo of singer, Susan Ann Sulley that night. Phil Oakey is to her right but I decided she should have the attention in this photo!

The beautiful Ina, a local model who has posed for Blarney Photography Club many times over the years. This photo is from 2018!

In between heavy showers, the far away hills visible from Killarney National Park are lovely shades of grey.

A banner above the carpark off Grand Parade proclaims, “WE’RE WITH YOU UKRAINE”.

A Dipper we spotted in the Killarney recently. He stayed on that rock for a few minutes, letting us take photos of him at our leisure!

Looks like she was finished with shopping and really needed a nice cup of tea.

The public phones at the top of St. Patrick’s Street Cork are in a sorry state. Eircom, the original national phone company in Ireland, haven’t been known publicly as Eircom since 2015 according to the Eir Wikipedia page. They really should get rid of those eyesores.
