Church Steps in Castletownbere
Steps to a church in Castletownbere, Co Cork. I tried finding out more about this church but any attempt to find info on it returns this church I blogged a while back. Anyone know it’s name?
Piper’s Funfair Crosshaven
A bright and colourful poster advertises Piper’s Funfair in Crosshaven! In other news, this blog is a finalist in the Irish Blog Awards on Saturday next in the Cork International Airport Hotel. Here are all the finalists. I’m honoured to make it this far as some amazing photoblogs were nominated. Best Photo Blog – Sponsored…
Waltzer
A truck in Piper’s Amusements, Crosshaven, bears the logo “Waltzer”. Not quite as much fun as the Waltzers funfair ride but there was no sign of them yesterday!

Signs 343918
A sign in Blackpool is signed by the author. Must be ancient as Cork phone numbers now have 7 digits!

Where’s the goldfish?

Just an Old Car
One of the old cars on Cape Clear Island.
Light Streaks of City Traffic
A long exposure shot of traffic as it heads into Cork City from the direction of Blackpool. This was very difficult to take and the original shows quite a bit of shake even though I had the camera balanced on a pedestrian traffic light button thingy. Love the streaks though.
We Love Lucy

Opel
The badge of the rented car we had while the wipers of our car were being repaired a few weeks back. It snowed too 🙂
