Light trails under the High Street Bridge

Red and white light trails of passing cars under the High Street Bridge in Cork.

Cars go up and down the South Link Road underneath the High Street Bridge in Cork.

The bridge was built in 1984, to replace another bridge that crossed the Bandon railway line that stood there since 1850!

Birds enjoying the sunrise

Two birds sitting on a TV ariel on a house, as the sun rises behind them casting lovely colours on the sky.

A simple sunrise this morning. Two birds sitting on an ariel high up over the house had a great vantage point of the lovely colours in the sky.

The cat always gets the milk

The Ten Arch Bridge at Inistioge

An imposing, ten arch bridge over a river, framed on the right by a tree.

I visited Inistioge many years ago and enjoyed a nice afternoon there. By the river there’s a lovely a walk which we took advantage of, and today I can share one of the photos I took that day.

According to the town website this bridge was built in 1765. It’s well worth a visit!

Lights in the rain

A rainy, wet street in Dublin at night. Two people walking towards me with umbrellas.

Rain pours out of the sky and runs along the pavement in this street in Dublin last year. It wasn’t a bad night if you had an umbrella.

Shelter from the rain

A group walking in the rain, some covering their heads with jackets. One young man looks in a shop window.

They’re heading to a Halloween party on a rainy October evening in Dublin. The guy looking in the window probably wishes he could get out of the rain, but the others around him show they’re not immune to the wet and are covering their heads.

Me? I was glad I brought an umbrella with me from Cork. I didn’t rub it in by bringing my Corcaigh umbrella…

Training on a bike

A boy on his training bike in the shadows cast by the Gaiety Theatre entrance.

A training bike is a great way to get kids used to cycling. In a busy city like Dublin, it’s probably best they don’t go on to the car filled roads too soon.
