Flooding in Fitzgerald Park

Fitzgerald Park in Cork City is a bit flooded after the recent rain. The children’s play area is totally flooded, as it’s lower than the surrounding ground, and the pond is overflowing onto the surrounding path. They were waiting for the River Lee to overflow about an hour later!

The Red House

A red house in Kinsale. Observant readers will recall I posted another photo of this house a few months ago.

Pink Roses

Pink roses stood out against the dark bushes and overgrowth over a wall in Kinsale last summer.

Fab in the Sun

Not so much real sun, but Sun, the newspaper. A man reads it on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork. He’s probably doing the crossword.

A grey wagtail looking for food

A grey wagtail pictured in Ballincollig Regional Park during the summer. He was hopping around in the bushes next to the River Lee, when Rory spotted him, got a few photos and called me over to see. I’d never have seen him otherwise, as he’s tiny.

Eircom have notions

The double phone box on Proby’s Quay is looking the worse for wear these days. This is what it looked like on a bright July day in 2021. It hasn’t improved since. Notions.

In need of a haircut?

A man walks past a barber’s shop. At an age when most men’s hair is receding or is gone altogether, he has a head of bouncing, flowing hair.

The Bells and the Hall

The tower of St. Anne’s Church, or “Shandon Bells” or “The Four Faced Liar” with the County Hall far behind it. As seen from Bell’s Field.

Sunset at Ballycotton

A man and a blank mural

In contrast to the photo yesterday of the same bench in 2015 when a mural appeared on the wall, this photo from July 2019 features a blank wall. An elderly man, with his walker sits on the same bench. I hope he made it through the COVID pandemic.

Surrounded by the sights of Cork

I wonder if this man checking his phone noticed the mural behind him in Bishop Lucey Park. In this fragment of the mural you can see the old Roches Stores building, Mangan’s Clock and Shandon Bells. You won’t see that mural there now. This is a snapshot of it from 2015.
