Traffic flies by the Sextant

Traffic speeds past the Sextant on Albert Quay in late October 2019. The building is gone now and missed by many Cork people. It was a familiar sight to me as it was on my route home growing up.

The Tritons’ Fountain in Valetta

The fabulous Tritons’ Fountain in Valetta, Malta. The fountain was built between 1952 and 1959. I’m glad I saw it after it was restored in 2018. It seems to have had an interesting life if the Wikipedia page is to be believed.

Light Trails on Anglesea Street

On the last outing to Cork City by Blarney Photography Club in 2019. I was lucky that two busses passed within seconds of each other and I had the shutter open to capture them!

Daly in Red

Daly’s Bridge, or the Shaky Bridge, near Fitzgerald Park was rebuilt and now sports a dazzling red lighting system!

The red cobbles

The new Shaky Bridge (Shakey Bridge?), or Daly’s Bridge, is a huge improvement over the old. The lighting makes it stand out, and it still has the shakes like the old one!

I love the cobbles on the ground nearby but the ugly concrete support under the walkway up to it leaves something to be desired. 🙁

Puerto del Carmen by the Sea

January 1st, 2020 in Lanzarote. It seems like a world away. Some knew what was ahead of us in this year but I certainly never suspected what the world would be going through now.

The Milky Way and Perseid Meteors

Urban light intrudes on a long exposure shot of the night sky, but it was worth it. Got three Perseid meteors and the Milky Way.
