A baboon resting on ropes
A young baboon pauses for a moment in grooming. I saw him at Bioparc Valencia in Spain last year.
A street interview
An interview on Mariacka in Katowice, Poland, one evening in July.
A Silhouette of a Sunset
The sun had just set beyond Dunmore Head, next to Coumeenoole Beach. I had arrived late, but in time to make a silhouette of the hill and catch clouds just peeping over the hill.
The Rock Orchestra in Cork Opera House
We went to see The Rock Orchestra play in the Cork Opera House last night, and they were a blast! Hopefully, these photos will help capture some of the excitement of the night. It’s well worth going to see them!
HNLMS Dolfijn Visits Cork
In 2003, the Dutch submarine, Dolfijn, or Dulfun, visited Cork for a few days. I happened to be around town and spotted it from Kennedy Quay where I’d been photographing the ships, buildings and machinery. When it left Cork, it headed to Mallorca.

Winthrop Street Dug Up
In early 2005, Winthrop Street was dug up and repaved. I really don’t like the modern surface. Part of it feels slippery, and the middle section is uncomfortable to walk on. Anyone else?

On a quiet February day in 2019 I walked down Winthrop Street and saw this busker strumming his guitar.
The Sherkin Boat
If you walk over to Cow Strand on Sherkin Island, you’ll come across this boat, maybe. At least in 2015 you would have. It might be gone by now. Take a look at Google Maps. I think that’s this boat.
The Llafranc Cat
When I was collecting the keys to our apartment near Llafranc in Spain a few years ago, I was being carefully watched by a feline guard. No doubt waiting for treats.
Horses on Sherkin Island
We were visiting Sherkin Island in 2015 when I saw a rider pulling another horse along with him. This was on Cow Strand, but I’d seen him riding on Silver Strand earlier in the day. A lovely, warm, August day just before school was about to start again.
