Laurel & Hardy Visit Cobh
Laurel & Hardy visited Cobh in Co. Cork today, exactly 70 years after they last visited in 1953! The two gentlemen are looking exceedingly well for their age, I’m sure you’ll agree. They put on a fine show, doing several sketches and singing a few favourites and doing a dance. Lucky Dog Theatre Productions were…
Cork City Skyline
Instantly recognisable to anyone in Cork. Shandon Bells rises above the rooftops.
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.
Lodge 234
I was surprised to see the Masonic Square and Compass logo on a weathered door in Kinsale a few weeks ago. Luckily there’s no public park next door where they can buy a plot of land to extend the building for €1 like they did in Cork City. CORK city councillors have voted to dispose…
Chatting to the bus driver
I was walking along the street and noticed this man, standing by the door of a bus. I think it was stopped at traffic lights. Did you notice he’s being watched by another bus driver?
Wind Blown Clouds
Looking up from the rocks in Ballycotton I spotted this house and magnificent clouds overhead. The wind was blowing hard up there high in the sky and the clouds moved visibly as I watched. It didn’t take me long to realise I needed to photograph it!
Skateboard Jumps on Grand Parade
A skateboarder jumps in the air on Grand Parade. He was there with friends, racing up and down the pavement.
Giant Bubbles in London
Away back in 2016, when the Rebel Street Photography group when to London for the day we passed by this man creating huge bubbles. Adults and kids alike were entertained!
The Eye Sees All
This graffiti caught my eye when I walked past. It was on the corner of Barrack Street and Fort Street in Cork. The eye sees you and the man screams at you. It’s long gone now, this photo was made in 2019!
The Horse in the box
On the day before the Dingle Races I saw a horse looking out of a horse box. His owner had gone into the nearby petrol station and came back a few minutes later.
Framing the Cathedral and the Church
In the midst of a mellow July evening, I met with members of Blarney Photography Club at Bell’s Field, a blissful backdrop boasting breathtaking views of the north side of Cork City. From my lens, I looked upon The Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, majestically standing on Cathedral Road, and The Church of…
Surfing on the Isar
I had a fantastic time in Munich with my team recently. We explored the city and enjoyed its sights and sounds. But the most surprising and thrilling thing I saw was in the city park. As we walked along a path, I heard a roaring sound of water. I peeked through the trees and saw…
