Eggs for Sale
A visit to the market in Skibbereen in 2019 was productive. I’ve posted a number of photos from that hour or so on here over the years, and there are still a few more to go. August 2019 feels like a lifetime ago.
Curiosity in the Old Town
We were wandering up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh when I spotted these two women looking up. At what, I’m not sure, there wasn’t anything special in the building they were looking at. Is there such a thing as “Edinburgh Neck”?
Voices for Gaza
Every Saturday there’s a rally in Cork supporting the people of Gaza and protesting the awful genocide being carried out by the IDF.
Edinburgh’s Public Square of Conscience

The Curious Crow of Bishop Lucey Park

Cycling Through Evergreen Street
These days, it’s so unusual to see a cyclist who isn’t a delivery person on the roads in Cork City that this man caught me by surprise as he turned into Industry Street from Evergreen Street. Luckily I had my camera out, as I was walking down to Nano Nagle Place for their photography exhibit…
The bible in the shadows
Two members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses stand in the shade near the Arena Spodek in Katowice, Poland.
Next Stop: Shopping in Cork
Three women wait at the traffic lights on Grand Parade. They’ve all been shopping in NEXT. It’s odd what Lightroom sometimes does to a photo when you correct for lens distortion. 🙂
I’m here for the Beamish
A man with his pint of Beamish seated at The Roundy a few years ago.
A Man and His Dog
It’s so unusual to see a dog in Cork City, but then I saw this beautiful Border Collie. His attention on something off-camera.
