Fire Assembly Point A
The old mixed with the new. Behind the old Customs House in Cork City.
A Street Performance for the kids
At the end of August, North Main Street closed to traffic as a carnival was held there. A huge crowd of adults and children descended on the street and the place was buzzing. 🙂 I wonder if this could be the same man I photographed on a unicycle in 2006?
A Path Through The Dunes
Grass is blown, and clouds are whisked through the air by winds that blow on to the beach at Long Strand, Co Cork.
A Panoramic Sunrise
The good weather is well and truly gone now, so here’s a sunrise from a few days ago to remind you what the sky above the grey clouds and rain looks like. 🙂
The bridge to a sunset
The footbridge over the railway line into Cobh. The sun had just set and cast a yellow glow over the sky. The bridge, lamps and trees became black silhouettes against the sky.
Sunrise on a Cloudy Day
The heatwave has broken today, but it’s still quite warm at 18C, but the rain is back. It’s like it never left! The threatened thunderstorms never materialised in Blarney but the sky is cloudy and produced a lovely sunrise this morning around 7am. The sun rising behind the hills east of Blarney lit up the…

They put on a fine show, doing several sketches and singing a few favourites and doing a dance. Lucky Dog Theatre Productions were…
The Mysterious Woman with Fiery Locks
The mural on Sullivans Quay, Cork, is an eye-catching image of a woman with fiery red hair. It was painted in October 2022 by Belgian painter, Kitsune Jolene. You can read more about the mural here.
Sunrise This Morning
Just before the sun rose this morning, it shone on the underside of clouds on the horizon, creating a lovely glow I could see from my home office window.
One escape from a darkened room
The lights are out, the windows are barred. A plant seeks the light close to the window. There’s an exit, an emergency exit.
That after sun glow
I went to the reservoir in Inniscarra yesterday evening to capture the sunset. It had been a glorious day and I saw there would be a smattering of cloud at sunset, which might make for a dramatic picture. As it happened, there was cloud, but it was mostly at the horizon in a thick, impenetrable…
