The Ferris wheel on the Grand Parade spinning away delighting the crowds earlier this month. Looking forward to 2022. It has to be better than 2021, and 2020.
April 2006 and the Grand Parade was the scene of some merriment. Food and produce stalls were erected and entertainers entertained. Note that they’re standing on the road? Now they’d be on the large pavement on the library side of the road!
Way back in 2005 before the Elysian was built. Look at all the buildings that are gone now: The warehouses in the foreground are gone.The Sextant was demolished last year.Cork Bonded Warehouses are gone a long time.In the far background many new buildings have gone up. This view from the City Hall car park is…
Catching the air on a Rukos skateboard in Emmett Place, Cork. September 2005. I published a few more photos here a couple of years ago. You’ll recognise the skateboarder in one or two of the images!
Lebowskis on Marlboro Street in 2005. The Spyglass Tavern is now in this building I think if Google Maps is up to date. I wasn’t ever in Lebowskis and haven’t visited the Spyglass Tavern either. Edit: The Atlas Bar is in that building now, not the Spyglass Tavern.
St Patrick’s Bridge in the background, pictured from Mary Elmes Bridge. A love lock on the fence but thankfully there aren’t many on it. Love locks are a serious problem for structures as they add unplanned weight. Happy holidays! Hope you had a nice day today!
Fireworks illuminate the park beside Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Blackrock tonight. The fireworks were part of the “Magic Nights By The Lee – A Winter Solstice” series of events but unfortunately due to Covid 19 they didn’t tell anyone where the fireworks would be launched from as reported by The Echo earlier today, For public…
Achill Island, Co Mayo in July 2019. We joined the residents of Dooagh for a walk into the surrounding countryside. Halfway through there was refreshments and music and on a lovely July day it was glorious.
Light trails of passing cars along the Conor Pass on the Dingle Peninsula in Co Kerry.
I went into town today and after finding parking around Gilabbey Street I wandered around Grand Parade until the sun set and got a few photos of the ferris wheel there. No stalls this year which is disappointing but with Covid19 on the rampage it’s understandable. Masks were seen inside and out among young and…
The lights of cars in the car park of Blackpool Shopping Centre blur into ghostly lines. This photo is built from 4 separate images taken at the exact same spot, merged into one in Photoshop. I thought I had posted a similar photo to this one but I cannot find it. It’s lost to the…
The sun set over the Dingle Peninsula in July this year. A lovely evening to be out photographing the end of the day.
