Looking down from on high
Looking down from on high Looking down on a street in San Francisco. You wouldn't want to be afraid of heights walking around on top of a building! We all want to see what the neighbours are up to and living in a high building is the perfect opportunity of peeping-toms everywhere. You can see...
Shel Israel and Rick Segal in Cork
Shel Israel in the People's Republic of Cork Rick Segal Shel Israel and Rick Segal joined members of the Cork blogging and business communities for dinner in Taste of Thailand last night.

Fountainstown Sunset
Fountainstown Sunset The sun sets over a small inlet in Fountainstown. The tide is out and boats are stranded in the mud. One thing that bothers me about this photo is the large black bit on the left. I think I overdid the lomo a little although I'm quite happy with the burned in clouds....
