Up and Away
I like photographing multi-storey car parks. Usually there’s a good view from the top floor, and I’ll always find something interesting inside too.
Night Shifts and Trailing Lights
Construction signs on Parnell Bridge in front of Cork City Hall were lit up by a passing bus a few nights ago.
JD Sports Coming Soon!
It was October 2019 and JD Sports had yet to open their shop on Patrick’s Street in Cork. The back of the building, on Drawbridge Street, featured JD Sports hoarding, but now it’s derelict, with “TO LET” signs in the windows, and the SAVOY entrance is boarded up. A sign of the times. The city…
Hey Gorgeous
A fire extinguisher takes pride of place in a café we visited in Lisbon, Portugal.
Stop crows walking on people

The road to Cork

As we walked, I noticed a sign that cautioned drivers about children playing in the area, while the Moon shone brilliantly in the evening sky.
Exhausted on Snowy Slopes
We had trudged up and down rugged hills, wearing snow shoes, until we finally came to a stop, feeling sore and utterly exhausted. The sun blazed down on us as we stood at 1500m on a crisp, clear day. Ahead of us loomed another hill, descending a valley and then ascending at a steep incline….
A Morning Walk in Santa Cruz
Way back in 2013, at the Automattic Grand Meetup, I took an early morning walk along the promenade in Santa Cruz. The sun had already risen, but the world was quiet, and I enjoyed a solitary walk before the day’s work had to be done.
