The remains of the pier where people boarded boats to take them to the Titanic and other ships. 123 people left Cobh here to board the Titanic that was moored off Roche’s Point, at the mouth of the harbour. In March 2018, plans were approved for an observation walkway and ticket kiosk, but thankfully they…
That container isn’t going anywhere fast. Yeah, weird subject for a photo but it was to the side of a pub. I’ve seen those containers used to carry glass bottles around but this one is past that now.
The murals and graffiti on the hoarding on Sullivan’s Quay, Cork changes all the time and the evening I shot this it bore the text, “Mind is like a garden”. You can see a mural in the background that I posted yesterday, and two women walking past.
The fiery, red hair of the mural on Sullivan’s Quay contrasts with the blue and dark background of the picture. I like the “no parking” sign, even if it’s distracting. I like the way the shadow of the pole and sign lies on the wall, duplicating the solid in the 2D world of the wall.
The colours of a sunset captured in the sweep of an ICM photo. Dark to bright orange and a bit of dark at the bottom where the roof of a house was. I wish Adobe would use their AI to do an automated spot healing tool. My sensor needs cleaning and there were lots of…

A “NO BICYCLE PARKING” sign in the window of a tax consultants, warns young people they shouldn’t lock their bikes to the railing outside. Actually understandable, as there’s a school next door..
Instantly recognisable to anyone in Cork. Shandon Bells rises above the rooftops.
Qween rocked Cobh on Sunday night, the last night of the Cobh People’s Regatta 2023. They’re an outstanding Queen tribute band, and they played all the hits, and soon had everyone singing along, dancing and cheering to the music. A short break in the middle of the set was required for the fireworks at 10pm,…
The Cobh People’s Regatta took place last weekend and the town was hopping. We enjoyed the live music, getting up close to the stage to watch Qween rock the place. Shortly after 10pm, the fireworks went off, and we rushed over to the water’s edge by the pier to watch the spectacle. I didn’t have…
