The Heron and the bars Last in the series of Heron shots. I took over 100 shots of this bird so I'd be certain of getting a good photo and this is my favourite despite the ugly vertical bars! He was walking towards the bridge and I crouched down and focused on him through the...

Heron on the river and pipe A Heron pictured on the River Lee through the bars of the Christy Ring Bridge, Cork. He waded through the water looking for food in the river bed but except for the occasional rock didn't have much luck in finding his dinner. This is the second of three photos...

Heron on the river and trolley A Heron pictured on the River Lee through the bars of the Christy Ring Bridge, Cork. Moments before I got close enough, two other herons flew away down the river. Despite the rubbish and trolleys in the river it's a great sign to see wild life again. This is...

A Crowd Pleaser More mono cycle madness on St. Patrick Street! This is near the end of his act. The crowd really enjoyed his show! Shot during the St. Patrick's Festival 2006 in Cork.

Hangers on Clothes hang unnoticed amid the crowds and stalls down Academy Street Cork during the St Patrick's Festival on March 18th 2006!

Joe, the Devil and an Angel Joe, the Devil and an Angel Joe was a simple man. He is like most of us haunted by his own devils but also protected by an angel by his side. In this street drama Joe was continually tempted by the devil, but then he found a small bird...

The French Soap Seller One of the stalls at the St. Patrick's Festival Market sold perfumed soaps and other crafts. This French gentleman owned the stall and cheerfully told us that he'd be travelling the country until his stock ran out, at which point he'd return home and have to do household chores for his...
