The fugitive can’t run fast enough!
The 96FM Fugitive is a character listeners of Cork radio station 96FM watch out for as DJs on the radio station give out clues as to his whereabouts. Find him and you’ll win a cash prize! A few weeks ago they told people he was in Blarney and I was asked at least three times…
Smile
The beautiful smiling woman in the background is on a poster covering one of the front windows of the old Moderne premises on St Patrick’s Street, Cork. While out with Blarney Photography Club we stopped to make some photos of this striking yellow background with passers by in front. There were five of us there…
Still Pushing Buggies
A new book featuring pictures of Cork was published recently, Cork in the 1960s. The front cover is a photo of two women pushing a buggy and a pram on St. Patrick’s Street. I was on that street today and when I saw the book in the window of Waterstones I had to make this…
In a world of their own
This couple were engrossed in conversation walking across the busy junction of Washington Street and The Grand Parade without waiting for the lights. A moment later the man looked towards traffic and put his hand out to stop a car that was heading towards them! Unbelievable. Day 5 of ?#?FiveDayBlackAndWhiteChallenge?. Since I was tagged 3…
Charcoal Grill
A lady in sunglasses caught me red handed taking a picture of her at the stall she was at in Patrick’s Street, Cork in July 2013 during some street festival. Day 3 of the ?#?FiveDayBlackAndWhiteChallenge on Facebook for me and I was tagged by Ronan a few minutes ago to do it all over again…
St. Peter’s Church, Bandon
This is a Church of Ireland church in Bandon, Co Cork that’s off the usual route for commuters passing through the town. I’ve only ever been up that direction once or twice despite having passed through the town hundreds of times! It’s a beautiful looking building but I’ve never been inside and there are few…
One Albert Quay Development
Albert Quay will soon be the site of a glass fronted office block, either 7 stories or 9 stories high. Here are a few photos of the site as it was over the last month. Not much to see except rubble and machinery. The well known front of the building will be coming down soon…

My Creepy Daddy Long Legs
I found this little Daddy Long Legs Crane Fly on the window of my car about a week ago. It was a chilly morning so I doubt he lasted long.
In the Sultan Restaurant, Cork
The Sultan Restaurant recently reopened after extensive renovations but I’ve had this photo ready to upload for some time so I thought I should post it sooner rather than later. This is Taoufik (centre) and his brothers in the restaurant pictured after I ate there earlier this year. Their food is amazing. I have a…
Green Hair on St. Patrick’s Day
A girl taking part in this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Blarney had a green wig on. Well, so did lots of people! 🙂
Yellow Flowers in Fitzgerald Park
Beautiful yellow flowers in Fitzgerald Park are one of the pleasures of the park in the summer. The garden in front of the museum always looks beautiful and well tended.
