Slate in Black and White
The roof of a house on Sunday’s Well from behind the house. The building in the background is the new one being built on the Western Road, where the greyhound track used to be. Taken shortly after the wedding car shot a few days ago. I just love the texture of the slate roof. When…
Sacred to the Memory
Death is a sad but inevitable part of life. A gravestone marks the earthly remains of the departed with a brief message recording their passing with, if space permits, a note from the grieving family. All that to sum up the life and times of a person. Seems very inadequate. In the future of course…
Pedestrian Crossing
The pedestrian crossing outside Eason (I always say “Eason’s”, but it really is “Eason”. Just like Porter’s is “Porter”. These newsagents are a picky bunch!) where young and old traverse the street in relative safety. Yes, it’s the current header image on this blog. If you’re reading this in the future when I may have…
Smiley Face in B/W
A smiley face forever lost to the world as it’s part of the works under the flyover in Douglas near Douglas Shopping Centre.
Golden Arches
The Golden Arches of the McDonald’s logo taunts me from a paper cup discarded on the pavement on Grand Parade, Cork.
Ohio LBP 786P
Another classic car at Charles Fort. Unfortunately I have no idea what this one is. Anyone give me a clue?
Singer Sewing Centre
The Singer Sewing Centre in Cork has been around for many years and recently the building went up for sale but the shop still continues to trade.
Wedding Car
A wedding car drives past as I walk down Sunday’s Well.
Northside Housing
The urban landscape as seen from the top of Shandon Bells in Cork.
Clancy’s Youghal
Clancy’s Bar and Restaurant in Youghal has apparently been closed for quite some time. I never knew the place but my wife was surprised and disappointed to see the For Sale signs outside. I didn’t even notice the people walking along the road until I looked at the photo on my monitor!
Toilets for the Aliens
If aliens from outer space attack Youghal in Co Cork we know at least one building they won’t destroy. Odd looking characters featured on this sign for the public toilets near the beach.
De Lorean DMC-12
De Lorean, the 80’s Belfast car manufacturer became a household name after their car’s appearance in Back to the Future. The name is instantly recognisable to a whole generation of people. Unfortunately the De Lorean company had already folded before those films were released. The car above is the De Lorean DMC-12, the only model…
