Many of the buildings in this photo are now gone, replaced with imposing glass frontage, or in the case of The Sextant there’s nothing there but a car park.

Cork 2005
Older visitors will recognise this poster if they were around Cork in 2005 when the city was “European Capital of Culture”.
This poster was draped over the city library, and I was very lucky to capture a tour bus as it drove past on a fine June day, exactly 17 years ago today.

Queue for the bus on St. Patrick’s Quay
The bus stops on St. Patrick’s Quay are being moved to various locations around the city disrupting the future travel arrangements of people who use them.
You used to be able to get a bus from west Cork to the city, walk to the next bus stop and hop on a bus to Dublin but now they’ll be in separate parts of the city.
Not exactly encouraging for people with mobility issues.

The Blarney Fun Run 2022
Most of the kids and some of the adults who took part in the Blarney Fun Run today. Blistering heat didn’t stop this group enjoying themselves and I saw lots of happy smiles as kids crossed the finish line.
Surrounded by everyone else is Michael, the Little Blue Hero. He was guest of honour and raised the flag at the start the race. 🙂
