Statues at Sunset
Some of the statues that decorate the entrances to St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork.
Taken while we waited for the Cathedral to open so we could hear beautiful classical music played that evening by London Concertante.

The Round Tower in Ardmore
The round tower in the cemetery in Ardmore is really impressive, standing out on the hillside overlooking the town.
The tower was built in the 12th century but it has been kept in great condition. Lots more to learn about it on this page.

Morning Light on Blarney Castle
This morning is a beautiful start to the week. Fog in the distance and the fiery orange ball of the sun shining through clear skies. Blarney Castle was lit up in a lovely orange glow and I had to spend a few minutes away from the busy bustle of life to get this photo.

Where the wind blows
This is the weather vane at the top of the tower on the Cork District Court. It used to be a school, An Módh Scoil, or Model School, where I attended in the eighties.
I’d never seen this weather vane up close and level like this before until a few days ago when I made this photo. From my memory, there’s a doorway to the tower near the main entrance to the building. I’ve never been up there but I was always curious about it.
They’ve done an amazing job of preserving this building. It didn’t looks quite as good when it was simply a primary school!

A Sheep with horns
I don’t often see sheep with horns but this one in the Galtee Mountains was one of a number of similar sheep. I’m glad he was behind a fence …
