Robert’s Cove in Co. Cork looked particularly spectacular this afternoon when I visited. We arrived to a sudden shower of rain, but it soon stopped, and we wandered up the path alongside the cliff away from the beach. Panoramas really don’t post well online. I need to do something like they do on Instagram where…
The Galeón Andalucía, a replica of a 16th-17th century Spanish galleon docked in Cork a few days ago for the European Maritime Days to Play, on yesterday and today. I wandered down the quays where there were a number of other boats. A nice day out for school kids who got a few hours out…
If the road works, why are there signs pointing out where diverted traffic goes? Did you know that most street signs in Ireland are bilingual? As Gaeilge on top and English below. Thanks Henry, for the company last night. A good spot to do long exposure photography. Oh, here’s something interesting about this photo. It’s…
Two young men decorate the underpass on the Line in Blackrock this evening with spray paint. There are fabulous murals on both walls of the underpass! Fun fact: spray paint, the tool of choice here, was invented in 1949 by Edward Seymour, on the suggestion of his wife, Bonnie.
A man carrying a Palestinian flag after the protest rally last weekend. I met him on Nano Nagle Bridge, and he said he comes in whenever he can, to join the weekly rally against the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Advertising goes unnoticed as people hurry past on Opera Lane, Cork. Did you know the rugby shirt, with its bold stripes, was first popularised in the 19th century?
Two people walking along the road by the south harbour on a pleasant, warm day in 2013. I haven’t been back there in a long time, but hopefully, I’ll make a return this summer.
Joey Neville entertained a small audience in Cork City Library this afternoon with a selection of his own compositions, and other tunes. He was later joined by Eileen Healy on violin.
A few of the photos I took today at the Dawstown Point to Point. We’ve been very lucky in the last few years that the weather has been good when these races were held!
On a cold December night in 2018, I was taking photographs of reflected light in the puddles of the Docklands in Cork along with others from Blarney Photography Club. Henry would have been on the light stick, and I’m sure I’ve posted other photos from the night, over the years as the lights are striking.
A curious crow watches me, possibly waiting for me to drop some food for him. Bishop Lucey Park several years ago in 2021.
Twenty years ago, I visited Baltimore in Co Cork and photographed these people coming from a boat in the harbour. They were in great form, with smiles all around. 🙂
