My 2020 Spy
Far back in time, to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, a film called My Spy was due to appear in cinemas on March 13th, 2020. Unfortunately, the country went into lockdown on March 27th. This photo was taken in May that year. Adverts hadn’t been changed in most places. Hoardings still had the same…
A Cork Fan and his Lolly
Even Cork fans have to take a break and this man was enjoying his ice cream on Daunt Square, on Patrick Street, Cork back in 2006.
Robin on the Ground
A few weeks ago, I visited Blarney Castle to take some photos of the Autumn colours. Unfortunately the light was dull, and the ground was wet, but I had my tripod with me, so I set it up for some long exposure shots. After a few minutes of that, I noticed a flicker out of…
Sparklers! 2 for €3!
A man selling sparklers on Henry Street, Dublin on Halloween this year. He promised that 2 for €3 was better than in the shops where they are 1 for €2, and he was right as we were in a Eurogiant later on! We didn’t buy any sparklers. He had plenty left over when we passed…
Jokers & Witches
Just some Jokers and witches on O’Connell Bridge in Dublin on Halloween night. I stopped the Jokers for a photo, and the two witches wanted to take part too!

A young man checks his phone on a dark evening in Dublin a couple of weeks ago.
On the bike in Girona
What I saw of the old part of Girona is one long pedestrianised road like you see this photo. It’s a long straight part here but then winds around to the area of the Cathedral. I did see a small van drive down there but they were at least careful. Pedestrians were number 1. Other…
The Northside Water Tower
The “futuristic” water tower that sits on Kilmore Road Lower in Knocknaheeny is seen from Bell’s Field in this photo taken in July this year. It was completed in 1972 and Councillor Gerald Yael Goldberg (1912-2003) described the water tower as ‘futuristic’ but predicted that it would ‘fit into the landscape’. I’m not so sure….
On the way home
Heading home, late at night to the train station in Dublin on November 1st.
From North Side to County
A sight well known to anyone who lives in Cork City. The Spire of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells stands like a beacon. The Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne is just off shot to the right, out of this shot. The County Hall can be seen far off in the distance out…
On the Onyar River
The Onyar River flows through the city of Girona in Spain. Photographed in August when I was surprised to see any water at all considering the dreadful drought that hit Europe in the summer. Colourful buildings line the banks of the river and the Cathedral can be seen in the background of a clear blue…
