The Clarion and the Boardwalk
The Clarion Hotel and the Boardwalk and offices sit on the banks of the River Lee in Cork City Centre.
Blackrock Terrace
The Blackrock end of Pairc Ui Chaoimh in Cork. Michael Jackson, U2 and err, not sure who else have played in this stadium as well as the obvious GAA matches!
An Bhlarna
The sign points the way to Blarney or Blarna in Irish. If you’re interested, that’s pronounced “blawrnah” “Secrets”, an adult store, occupies the building at the centre of this photo.
Seagull and the Boat
A seagull calmly swims by a small boat in Baltimore Harbour, County Cork.
The chains that bind
A disused chain lies forgotten on the ground near the lighthouse on Mizen Head, County Cork.
Stuck in the middle with you
A construction platform of some type sits in the River Lee, Cork in this photo shot in April 2008. I’m sure I have a photo of it up by Sullivan’s Quay too.
More Naked
Look up and see naked branches cover the sky with their evil and treacherous appendages, and then walk straight into some dog sh*t that an uncaring owner neglected to clean up.
Yellow Spots
Yellow spots mark the parking spaces while the Elysian looms overhead!
Elysian Under Cover
The Elysian, as it was in March 2008, still under construction while the Irish Economy economy fell apart around it.
Bare Trees, Budding Trees
Bare naked trees are all you’ll see along the Marina in Blackrock at this time of year but in April the leaves are budding and life is returning.
The Clarion on the Lee
