A cry for help

A woman walks past an Eircom phone box vandalised by graffiti and displaying pro-Gaza stickers.

These Eircom phone boxes are soon going to be a thing of the past as they are being removed, but this one had two large stickers against the war in Gaza that caught my eye.

Fog descends on Roche’s Point Lighthouse

Fog flows over the landscape and will soon cover the small town and the lighthouse. The water of Cork Harbour can be seen in the foreground.

Fog flowed in from the sea on a warm day in March, 2011. It almost covered the lighthouse, and it will do so a few minutes later.

The remains of the shop

A woman walks past the front entrance of the old Roches Stores, or later Debenhams, but now a derelict building in the heart of the city. The building is surrounded by hoarding.

All that remains of Debenhams is the faded imprint of the sign on the front of its previous location on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork.

R&H Hall as it was

R&H Hall stands on Kennedy Quay before any demolition work took place. The flat area of the quay is visible in front.

At the start of February, this imposing building still stood on Kennedy Quay but now most of it is a pile of rubble.

The public toilets at Warren Beach, Co Cork, might seem like an unusual photo, but they were the only source of light nearby. Apart from a few minutes later when I ran up and down the beach with the flashlight on my phone for some fun long exposure shots.

A fork in the forest

A path forks left and right around the ruins of a building in a forest.

The path forks around one of the ruins of the gunpowder mill in Ballincollig Regional Park, Cork. Everything is overgrown, but access is easy. Inside that building, it looks like this.
