  • Keeping an Eye on the Youngsters Below

    The tower of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, towers over the surrounding buildings and is visible from the big wheel on Grand Parade.

    Behind it is the North Cathedral and the distinctive roof of the Firkin Crane is off to the left. In the foreground is the brand-new Capitol building.

    First time on the big wheel. Nice view from up top. Thanks Henry!

  • The Car Park’s Secret Disco Portal

    The big wheel on Grand Parade in Cork spins and makes a lovely shape when captured by a long exposure shot. Also missing from this are a few friends who thankfully kept walking back and forth so they wouldn’t be captured in the image!

  • The boats of Cape Clear

    Some of the boats docked at the harbour in Cape Clear, Co Cork. This was in August 2013, the last time I’ve been there, when we walked up and down the hills of the island and enjoyed the sunny day.

  • Dusk’s Divine Dance

    Just as the sun set on a beautiful December evening, I photographed St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral in the distance, with the big wheel on the Grand Parade in the foreground.

    I love that people on the big wheel were waving!

  • Keem Beach in the Sun

    The lovely Keem Beach on Achill Island, photographed in 2019. It’s a beautiful part of Ireland that I would love to visit again some day.

  • The Yeni Camii overlooks the mall

    A long exposure photo of the Yeni Camii in Istanbul, with the entrance to a small shopping mall in the foreground. Steps lead down, under a busy road, and vendors have set up shops down there selling all sorts of goods.

    The Yeni Camii is also known as the “New Mosque”, even though it was completed between 1660 and 1665. It was originally named the Valide Sultan Mosque.

    I wonder if that’s a drone flying overhead, over the mosque? I certainly didn’t see it while I was taking this photo.

  • Where Cathedrals and Carnivals Collide

    St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork can be seen in the background behind the big wheel on The Grand Parade, in Cork, tonight. I didn’t expect any sunset because there would be so much low cloud, but there was a tiny spec of colour on the horizon. At times, the underside of the cloud was faintly lit up in pink by the setting sun.

    Thanks Finbarr for reporting from the car park that there was some light. I had written it off entirely, so it was nice to see!

  • The Panoramic Wheel Spectacle

    A long exposure photograph of an illuminated Ferris wheel at night, creating a circular pattern of light trails in red, yellow, and white. The wheel's structure appears as a perfect circle against a dark background, with radiating light beams emanating from the center like spokes. The light trails create a mesmerizing starburst effect, while the wheel's frame is visible as a transparent, geometric pattern around the circumference.

    The ferris wheel, or big wheel, or Panoramic Wheel as it’s known to it’s owners, on Grand Parade. We had some fun photographing it from the car park across the street.

    Henry has a photo of the wheel on his Instagram account too.

  • Red Brick and Stone

    Following on from yesterday’s photo of Shandon Bells, here’s another one taken nine years earlier in 2007, on a day when it was about to rain, but the sun came out for one final glimpse of Cork before the wet enveloped the city.

    You can see Shandon Bells, the North Cathedral, SS Peter & Paul’s Church and the presbytery attached to that church.

    All taken from the roof of the car park on Grand Parade, but I think it’s blocked now. I’ll have a look this evening.

  • Cork’s Spiritual Heights

    The historic spire of St. Anne’s Church, Shandon Bells, rises out of the mist, with the North Cathedral, the Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, behind it.

    In the foreground is the roof of SS Peter & Paul’s Church and the nearby Presbytery.

    This was photographed on December 10th, 2016. Just a day over 8 years ago. I think it’s not possible to photograph this scene now. The new Capitol building is in the way.
