The Cathedral on the River
Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork sits just above the River Lee, towering over nearby buildings. I took this photo from South Gate Bridge on a lovely evening recently.
Cork Pride Party at the Port 2023
A few photos from the 2023 Cork Pride “party at the port” on Kennedy Quay. There was a huge crowd there, with people coming and going all the time. A band played the hits, followed by a few words from the Lord Mayor of Cork, and then the drag queens came out to entertain the…
The cat at the window
I was wandering around town when I spotted a cat jump up on a window sill, sit down and then stare at me. Probably wondering if I had treats for them. 🙂
The Ruins of Kilcrea Friary

Shandon Bells from Cornmarket Street

Mauve, green, and red
3 doors, all different colours. I love it! Modern housing is so boring.
The McCurtain Street Building Site
Today was Robert’s funeral, so here’s a street photo he would like. It’s got layers, it’s got people, it’s got a changing city, from the old to the new. Robert, you will be missed.
Lines on the wall
A drain pipe comes down the wall, taking corners in strict lines, while the thin branches of a bush cling to the smooth surface. The branches look like they want to smother or envelop the wall, but the branches are bare. The wall is smooth. All dead.
