We spent a pleasant afternoon in Crosshaven today. It was mild enough to actually enjoy a walk up towards the fort on the hill. As I walked past the merries I spotted this plaque. It must have been hidden every other time as I don’t remember it ever being there. The inscription reads: OUR GRATITUDE…
Step into An Siopa Beag on Oilean Chleire and you’ll see a small restaurant as well as confectionery and a till at the entrance. There are tables outside too of course, I posted a photo of them a while back. It’s one of the first businesses visitors to Cape Clear see, good location!
A sign in Blackpool is signed by the author. Must be ancient as Cork phone numbers now have 7 digits!
Dunnes Stores, Blackpool in Cork City. Recent Dunnes Stores adverts finish with the byline, “The difference is we’re Irish”. It stinks of desperation as everyone north of Dublin heads up to Northern Ireland to shop!
A goldfish in a pond in Baltimore Co Cork.
One of the old cars on Cape Clear Island.
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.
Lucy Kennedy, on a bus stop poster in Patrick’s Street Cork.
The badge of the rented car we had while the wipers of our car were being repaired a few weeks back. It snowed too 🙂
A bicycle tied to a post on Patrick’s Street, Cork late last November. I’m heading to London later today for my brother Donal’s stag. Yes yes, wild weekend, etc etc. I’ll have my camera too of course and I’m staying next to King’s Cross Railway Station so I thought it would be great to go…
Which way? To the carpark and drive home, or the ferry to Oilean Chleire? Shot in Baltimore last summer.
We build them up and then knock them down. It’s expected that demolition of empty houses and residential housing estates will be a boon for the construction industry before too long. This is the junction in front of Emmett Place in Cork. Visible are the Cork Opera House and the cranes in the distance. WordPress…
