  • Stars on the North Side

    The Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, or North Cathedral, in Cork sits on Cathedral Road where the light streaks of passing traffic can be seen. The Church of the Ascension is seen at the top of the photo, with its distinctive red cross glowing in the dark. Point lights make star shapes in the photo.

    Cathedral Road was busy on yesterday evening and can be seen as light streaks in this five second exposure of the Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, or North Cathedral. The Church of the Ascension is seen at the top of the image, with its distinctive red cross glowing in the dark.

    A man sits at one of the tables outside Gino’s Gelato listening to the radio. It was a cold day, and he was dressed for the weather, as were the people nearby. That ice-cream shop was still selling delicious treats to customers!

  • Alexandre III Bridge at Night

    The Alexandre III Bridge in Paris pictured at night. A passing boat casts a blue light on the river.

    The Alexandre III Bridge in Paris was a beautiful sight to see. Unfortunately, there were road works on the bridge and traffic was busy, so you had to be careful where you went. A large group of Japanese tourists spent an age taking photos with the bridge in the background. They even had lights on a stand. It was quite a set-up.

  • A man and the R&H Hall

    A man looks out from a boat with the massive R&H Hall building in the background.

    As we were photographing the R&H Hall building the other morning, Henry spotted a boat, the Simon Princess, sailing towards us. I thought the boat might pull in on the other side of the river, but no, it stopped just a few metres away.

    As it passed slowly, I caught a nice photo of one of the crew looking out, with the R&H Hall building providing a nice background. A photo that will be impossible to replicate in 6 months time.

  • Hen Party in Kinsale

    Four women dressed to go out on a hen night as one of them is wearing a wedding veil and another is wearing a sash. They are watched by an older couple as they walk by on the street.

    A hen party heading out on the town in Kinsale recently. Braving the cold weather, but I hope they had a great time. 🙂

  • The Lights Have Stars

    A car driving on the road at night with the lights making stars.

    A car drove towards me a few nights ago while I was playing around with an 8 star filter on my camera. Most of the time it’s totally overdone, but I liked how this came, especially as the headlights are reflected in the bus shelter.

  • A haven for blue in Kinsale

    The entrance to the Blue Haven Hotel in Kinsale, Co. Cork. Truly, a haven for the colour blue in a lovely town.

  • The Kennedy Quay Skyline

    The R&H Hall building in the centre of an image showing Kennedy Quay in Cork. A ship is docked on the quay. Southern Milling Ltd have a smaller building nearby and the old Odlums, red-bricked, building is visible to the far left.

    Kennedy Quay this morning as the sun rose, with R&H Hall in the centre of the image, as this skyline will disappear in the next few months.

    Note: the sky has been replaced. It was a very dull, overcast day. Hopefully, this is more pleasing to the eye. The old R&H Hall building has not been replaced, yet.

  • R&H Hall in Cork City

    The large R&H Hall building on Kennedy Quay in Cork. The back of the Welcome to Cork" sign is visible in the foreground. Other buildings and vehicles can be seen too, tiny in comparison.

    The R&H Hall building looms over Kennedy Quay as seen from Michael Collins Bridge today. It’s going to be demolished this year, so if you want to record “what once was” on the site, get down there soonest!

    This Irish Examiner article talks about the demolition, and includes this picture of what will replace it.

  • Sky Blue on a cold day

    The front of the casino on Winthrop Street is coloured an unusually calming sky-blue or cyan colour. Not the type of colour I’d expect somewhere that wants customers to get excited about losing money to use.

    Luckily, Deliveroo uses the same colour and a delivery guy just walked past while I was fishing for a photo!
