Urban Geometry at Night

Black and white night-time photograph of a modern brutalist covered structure with horizontal fluorescent strip lighting and concrete cylindrical support pillars, gravel and paved ground in foreground, white metal railings, modern building visible on right side, and a contemporary public space at Bishop Lucey Park, Cork.

The brutalist architecture of Bishop Lucey Park seems to suit black and white night shots. This was only my first time trying to photograph it in such a way but I’ll try again.

A Sunlit Afternoon on the Wall

This is me standing on the old walls of Cork where I took this photo in Bishop Lucey Park yesterday afternoon. The sun had already started to head to the horizon and it wasn’t even 3pm, but it did light up the mural on the wall and placed the ground in front of me in shadow.

For many in Ireland, November is firmly in the winter months of the year. It seems to be a traditional Irish/Celtic thing because Met Éireann uses meteorological seasons which classify September, October and November as autumn.
