The Port of Cork

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 Club photographing the city. Here’s a post with more photos!

City Hall in Green

The colours of Cork City Hall and surrounding lights are captured in an out of focus image.
The colours are reflected in the River Lee.

Cork City Hall is lit up in green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day today. We went out on Thursday night to photograph it and I decided to get something different by shooting an out of focus image

Starry Night Sky

After photographing the National Space Centre on a dark January evening I turned around and spotted this silhouette. Luckily, there wasn’t much of a wind blowing, but we were lucky. A chill wind blew in a few minutes later.

The Idle Hour on Albert Quay

Well, the Idle Hour, Navigation Square, 1 Albert Quay and the other pubs along Victoria Road.

This was taken one morning early, just after the sun rose. I’ve taken this photo a few times over the years and I love the reflection in the River Lee, at high tide, like the buildings are floating at sea.

Flowers of the Eiffel Tower

When you visit the Eiffel Tower, you’ll see the massive Jardin de la Tour Eiffel stretch off into the distance. In warm weather, the gardens are thronged with people in the evenings who gather to watch the Eiffel Tower light up.

This photo was shot on one such evening. The night was calm, and warm and it was lovely to be out.
