Mama Mia’s
Mama Mia's Restaurant in Kinsale. I have a vague memory of eating there late one night after the pubs closed.
No Parking On This Side
During the Tour of Ireland last summer parking wasn't allowed in Blarney. Not everyone takes notice of signs!
Clancy’s Youghal
Clancy's Bar and Restaurant in Youghal has apparently been closed for quite some time. I never knew the place but my wife was surprised and disappointed to see the For Sale signs outside. I didn't even notice the people walking along the road until I looked at the photo on my monitor!
Toilets for the Aliens
If aliens from outer space attack Youghal in Co Cork we know at least one building they won't destroy. Odd looking characters featured on this sign for the public toilets near the beach.
De Lorean DMC-12
De Lorean, the 80's Belfast car manufacturer became a household name after their car's appearance in Back to the Future. The name is instantly recognisable to a whole generation of people. Unfortunately the De Lorean company had already folded before those films were released. The car above is the De Lorean DMC-12, the only model...
Flowers on North Mall
The North Mall next to the River Lee in Cork is decorated with beautiful flowers dotted along it's length. I had to take a few shots of them as I walked back to my car after the Paddy's Day Parade this year. Note the Franciscan Well in the background. Nice pub! PS. If you use...
Heron Landing
Heron coming in to land on the Lough, Cork. I'd love to have a big huge high quality zoom lens.
Black and White in Kinsale
Two houses painted contrasting colours in the town of Kinsale in Co Cork.
Icy Dream’s LTD
Icy Dreams LTD, an ice cream van outside Fitzgerald's Park, Cork. Apostrophe Police?
SMP
SMP Great Britain. Manufacturers of playground equipment. This one is in the playground at Fitzgerald's Park, Cork. I don't think it's this SMP though.
Mr Whirly
Shly? Ever since I took this photo it's always bugged me what that means. Ice cream van on a very warm day in Kinsale, Co Cork. Not the first time I shot this particular ice cream van either!
The banks of the Lee
The River Lee runs through Cork City along two channels with an island in the middle. That island is where the City Center is and provides for plenty of opportunities shooting the river :) Shot during the pre-iba09 photowalk ages ago.
