A bit late at the beach

Public toilets at a beach are lit up at night in the dark. Light streams out the windows.

The public toilets at Warren Beach, Co Cork, might seem like an unusual photo, but they were the only source of light nearby. Apart from a few minutes later when I ran up and down the beach with the flashlight on my phone for some fun long exposure shots.

The Chicago Board of Trade

The famous Chicago Board of Trade building as soon from La Salle, framed by the leaves of a branch and some flowers

In 2003, there wasn’t much vegetation to see on La Salle Street, but I found it at N 120 La Salle N Street according to Google Maps. The most recent photos on Google Maps show the red flowers are long gone.

You’ve probably seen the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) building in movies, such as Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Batman Begins, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and The Dark Knight.

A fork in the forest

A path forks left and right around the ruins of a building in a forest.

The path forks around one of the ruins of the gunpowder mill in Ballincollig Regional Park, Cork. Everything is overgrown, but access is easy. Inside that building, it looks like this.

Young man walking

A woman holding her dog on the lead. He's sitting on the ground of a pedestrian bridge. The river visible in the background. A man walks past, looking directly at me.

Others are enjoying the setting sun, while this man walking past looked directly at me just as I clicked the shutter.

St Patrick’s Day Fireworks

At the Jeweller

A woman and her two kids, with a man nearby, presumably her partner, look in the window of a jeweller's as someone inside picks out something.

She’s picking out something she likes.

The Port of Cork

The sign saying "PORT OF CORK" displayed on the middle island of the city, visible to any boats coming up the river from the harbour. The supports of the sign are reflected in a puddle, as are the lights and nearby building. The Cork skyline is visible in the background of this sunset photo.

The PORT OF CORK sign welcomes any boat coming into the city, but it’s probably on borrowed time if development continues in this area on Custom House Quay.

I made this from 3 separate images because I forgot I had my wide-angle lens in my camera bag. I was out with friends from Blarney Photography Club photographing the city. Here’s a post with more photos!

City Hall in Green

Cork City Hall at night, and it's lit up in green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The river reflects the colour of the building.

Cork City Hall is lit up in green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day today. We went out on Thursday night to photograph it and I decided to get something different by shooting an out of focus image

A tourist stares

A woman stares at the tram I'm travelling on, unaware that I'm taking her photo. She is dressed warmly as it is November, and even in Lisbon it gets chilly.

The tram trundles past and people stare at it, unaware I have captured the moment. Lisbon, November 2023.

The Atlantic Pond in Reflection

Trees are reflected in the water of the Atlantic Pond in Cork. The water is very still, and a clear blue sky is unblemished by clouds.

I love walking by the Marina and sometimes walking around the Atlantic Pond. Most of the water was deliciously calm this afternoon when I visited.
