An emergency exit sign spotted in the first floor window of a building in Kinsale, Co Cork. Despite the shadows, the sign gives a clue to the internal floor plan of the building. It looks a bit out of place, but it has to be there. Georgian sash windows like this one were originally designed…

The Old Youghal Road takes a steep dive right next to Bell’s Field, but there’s a lovely view. No wonder he stopped for a moment to admire the view on a sunny evening a few years ago.

Santa Monica Pier is hard to miss, but if you didn’t know where Muscle Beach or North Beach were, here’s a sign to help you.

The PORT OF CORK sign welcomes any boat coming into the city, but it’s probably on borrowed time if development continues in this area on Custom House Quay. I made this from 3 separate images because I forgot I had my wide-angle lens in my camera bag. I was out with friends from Blarney Photography…

There’s no parking in front of La Scala in Crosshaven, and the no parking signs belong to Pipers. This time of year, Piper’s is fairly quiet, but hopefully in the summer they’ll be open again and busy.

Behind a closed gate, you’ll find a lovely mural on a wall in Tucky Street. Look more closely at the pillars beneath it, and you’ll see they belonged to the library a long time ago!

The text “GER” from the name “SINGER”, a garment alteration centre in the middle of Cork City.

One of the signs surrounding the building site on McCurtain Street and Patrick’s Hill. Gotta love walking!

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….

We need an exit from this pandemic. Vaccination, ventilation, masks and social distancing. We should be so privileged that we can do those things. A photo from the last Blarney Photography Club photo night, February 2020.
