Kennedy Quay Panorama

Kennedy Quay in Cork in February 2024 before the R&H Hall building was demolished. Look to the right, and you’ll see Albert Quay and the new buildings there. This whole area will look quite different in only a few years.

A trot after the race

After the race, the horses slowed down to a trot. Dawstown, this year.

Galloping to the finish

Horses and jockeys race to the finish line at the Dawstown Point to Point a few days ago.

Ready to race

After the horses parade, the jockeys mount their horses for the coming race. Ice cream is always popular, even on a cold hilltop on race day. 🙂

Bunched up at Dawstown

Handy on a skateboard

On the Grand Parade, Cork, a few years ago, I was waiting around and saw a few guys on their skateboards. They were having fun. 🙂 The public toilet with the striking mural in the background was removed in the last year or so.

Stop Shell Hell in Mayo!

Remember the Shell to Sea protests that wanted to stop Shell from bringing natural gas from the Corrib Gas Field ashore. They wanted Shell to refine the gas at sea. According to the Wikipedia page for the group, Shell exited the project in 2018. This photo is from April 15th, 2006.
