Pet Shop Boys at the Marquee
The Pet Shop Boys played to a capacity crowd in the Marquee, Cork, last night and it was a great night. We bought the tickets originally in 2019 for a 2020 show but then the COVID19 pandemic happened and everything was cancelled that year.
The Examiner has a great write up of the concert (archive.org copy) of the event.
The British electro-pop duo were anything but boring, attracting a packed crowd that ranged across all ages, with families, groups of friends, and couples all bopping and clapping side by side through the night.
If fans have learned anything over the Pet Shop Boys’ 40-year long career, it’s that Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe know how to put on a show, and from the moment they sauntered on stage wearing their mad-scientist inspired outfits they had the audience in the palms of their talented hands.

The Milky Way in Tenerife
The Milky Way captured from inside Teide National Park.
This is a stacked image created from 19 images of the sky and 10 “noise” images. It was assembled in Sequator using this video tutorial to help me figure out how to use it. Final adjustments in Lightroom.
Getting to Teide National Park, inside a volcano, involves a long car journey going up. We were around 2300m above sea level when I took this photo, and it takes about an hour to drive here from the coast. Driving up the whole time. Quite an experience, especially after midnight. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted the lights of the resorts far below which made my stomach turn briefly, but the road was simple to follow. It just kept going up and up…
I was amazed when we got there finally. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many stars. The night sky was so dark the stars lit up brightly. Unfortunately clouds rolled in as we were taking photos but this image was the first stack I made, and the cloud hadn’t become too thick yet.
Thanks Henry for the lend of the 14mm Samyang lens. It was great having that extra wide lens!
Queue for the bus on St. Patrick’s Quay
The bus stops on St. Patrick’s Quay are being moved to various locations around the city disrupting the future travel arrangements of people who use them.
You used to be able to get a bus from west Cork to the city, walk to the next bus stop and hop on a bus to Dublin but now they’ll be in separate parts of the city.
Not exactly encouraging for people with mobility issues.
