The cat at the window

I was wandering around town when I spotted a cat jump up on a window sill, sit down and then stare at me. Probably wondering if I had treats for them. 🙂

The Ruins of Kilcrea Friary

Kilcrea Friary in Co Cork as the sun set behind it. Despite the unusually wet summer, this particular evening was dry and warm and just about perfect for a sunset.

The cars of Inch Beach

Just some of the vehicles parked on Inch Beach the other day. Adventurous folk!

Narrator: vehicles weren’t removed

It’s good to see a warning for motorists who park on Inch Beach in Co. Kerry. High tide was at 5:15pm yesterday, and motorists were urged to remove their vehicles “in GOOD TIME”. We parked in the car park and left at 5:42pm, but there were still a few hardy souls on the beach with…

Mauve, green, and red

3 doors, all different colours. I love it! Modern housing is so boring.

A Unicycle on Patrick’s Street

The McCurtain Street Building Site

Today was Robert’s funeral, so here’s a street photo he would like. It’s got layers, it’s got people, it’s got a changing city, from the old to the new. Robert, you will be missed.

Robert, the Street Photographer

Me and Robert on Oliver Plunkett Street in front of the Old Oak I never did give Robert the expired rolls of film I promised him. I even took them with me the last time we did street photography in Cork, but I left them in the car. “Next time”, I said to him. The…

Lines on the wall

A drain pipe comes down the wall, taking corners in strict lines, while the thin branches of a bush cling to the smooth surface. The branches look like they want to smother or envelop the wall, but the branches are bare. The wall is smooth. All dead.
