This is the sort of contrasts you’ll see in Cork City during the Jazz weekend. Loads of people dressed to go out for the night, surrounded by shoppers and families dressed for a late October day. The music on the street was great!
Some people were surprised to find there was a large covered over tunnel below Grand Parade when the Cork Main Drainage Scheme dug up the road near Daunt Square in 2005. The street used to be part of the river, so I guess the water had to go somewhere, but it also highlights just how…

Runners prepare to take part in the Ladies mini-marathon in Cork, 2004.
Many years ago, I photographed the sunset over the North Side of Cork City, using the silhouette of a roof and chimney as a foreground. This is so long ago that I used a 2MP Fuji, my second digital camera.
What caught my eye when I saw this in front of me in Bishop Lucey Park, was the man leaning against the railing seemed to mirror the pose of the figure in the large mural on the wall. The park itself is closed off now. This is a picture of a bygone era. Can’t wait…

We went to see The Rock Orchestra play in the Cork Opera House last night, and they were a blast! Hopefully, these photos will help capture some of the excitement of the night. It’s well worth going to see them!
In 2003, the Dutch submarine, Dolfijn, or Dulfun, visited Cork for a few days. I happened to be around town and spotted it from Kennedy Quay where I’d been photographing the ships, buildings and machinery. When it left Cork, it headed to Mallorca. September in Cork is nice, but I wouldn’t mind a few days…
In early 2005, Winthrop Street was dug up and repaved. I really don’t like the modern surface. Part of it feels slippery, and the middle section is uncomfortable to walk on. Anyone else?
Yesterday, I noticed that Henry was warning us (in Blarney Photography Club) that there was likely going to be a great display of aurora borealis that night. I’m recovering from a cold, so I was just going to stay in and watch TV, which I did. Nothing was going to get me out into the…
On a quiet February day in 2019 I walked down Winthrop Street and saw this busker strumming his guitar.
