St Patrick and the Volkswagen
A Volkswagen Beetle parked across the road from St. Patrick’s Catholic Church on the Lower Glanmire Road in Cork. The church was built in 1840. The car, not so old. Shot on the recent photowalk in the city.
Blarney Sunrise
Sunrise, as seen from my home office here in Blarney about 3 weeks ago. The weather was great in September. Much better than it was in August.

Good night?
No matter what state the economy, the pubs are still full and there’s plenty of drinking.
Cobh in Black and White
A dump of the b/w images I shot in Cobh over the weekend. It was a strictly “stroll around and do nothing” day (so sorry Conor for not calling in!) as Adam was being minded by my sister. As I said a few days ago, I shot everything in black and white and I’m pleased…

Cork Photowalk Gallery (Montenotte Edition)
Almost all my photos from today’s photowalk. Photos after the jump to preserve my bandwidth! I also uploaded them to this pix.ie album [gallery link="file" order="ASC"] Phew. A lot there. What a great day. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
On the Boardwalk
Phew! What a day! Today we had a great photowalk in Cork. I hesitate to say this, but I think it was probably the most enjoyable photowalk I’ve ever been on. We started out in the Montenotte Hotel, with tea and scones and a chat. After refreshments we headed up on the roof for a…
Steep Incline
A steep incline leads down to the bottom of the Old Youghal Road. Photowalk tomorrow! See you at the Montenotte Hotel at 10am!
