Construction of the Camden Quay Hotel
The old site of the hotel on Camden Quay is being redeveloped. It’s gone through many phases over the years, and it’s soon to be a 3 star hotel.
Sailing past Roches Point
A sailing boat sails past Roche’s Point Lighthouse at the mouth of Cork Harbour. It was a lovely August evening last year. The days were long and the sun was shining!
The view from St. Peters in Munich
St. Peter’s Church, or Alter Peter, in Munich is the tallest building in the vicinity. Local regulations prohibited building taller buildings except for a few years a while back when ugly glass office blocks were built a few kilometres away. That’s the Frauenkirche, a large gothic church in the middle distance. So, you get a…
All you need is love, JFK
Late last year I visited Youghal on a Sunday. Most of the shops were closed, including this one but the display in front caught my eye. JFK is still highly regarded by many people who don’t know how unfaithful he was to his wife, and maybe they do know and ignore that part of him….
The Valentia River Viaduct
The now unused viaduct over the Valentia River in Co Kerry caught my eye away back in 2019.
A Collie in Gougane Barra
When I went to Gougane Barra with Blarney Photography Club a few weeks ago, I met the cutest collie ever. He was so chill and friendly, and he had this gorgeous white and brown fur that matched the scenery perfectly. I think he works at the hotel nearby, but he didn’t charge me for his…
Selfies and Greetings
Edinburgh Castle in Scotland is a huge attraction for tourists and on the day I was there it was busy. It was a gorgeous day, with the sun beating down. I really like this photo as I photographed two couples. One couple taking a selfie to remember the day, and in the background an older…
Happy Henry
As I walked past Phil O’Sullivan Electrical, I noticed Henry, the vacuum cleaner, sitting on top of an old fridge. He looked happy, but it also made me wonder if he was okay. I mean, how could a vacuum cleaner be happy without his hose? Maybe it was lost or misplaced, and that’s why he…
Dawstown Point to Point, 2023
I had a great time today at the Dawstown Point-to-Point horse racing event! The races started at 2 pm and continued until 4.30 pm, and I went with some of my buddies from the Blarney Photography Club. We positioned ourselves near the second last jump, and it was a super fun day filled with lots…
Savouring the Warmth of Spanish Nights
As I strolled towards our apartment, the tantalizing aroma of Spanish cuisine filled the air. My eyes scanned the street and landed on a cozy restaurant, where the lively chatter of people enjoying their meals echoed through the evening air. Among them, I spotted a couple fully engrossed in a deep conversation, savouring the last…
The eye on the street
If you’re a fan of street art, you’ll love this vibrant and eye-catching hoarding in Cork City. What was once a dull and drab barrier around a derelict site has been transformed into a colourful canvas of graffiti. The hoarding is situated on the corner of Sheare Street and Grattan Street and it’s impossible to…
Breathtaking Border Mountains in Germany
Here’s another photo from my recent team meetup in Germany, where we got to see these incredible mountains that span the border of Germany and Austria. We were up pretty high too, around 1500m at Bergstation Herzogstandbahn, which made for a wonderful view. Of course, the weather wasn’t exactly on our side – those ominous…
