A man and the R&H Hall

As we were photographing the R&H Hall building the other morning, Henry spotted a boat, the Simon Princess, sailing towards us. I thought the boat might pull in on the other side of the river, but no, it stopped just a few metres away.

As it passed slowly, I caught a nice photo of one of the crew looking out, with the R&H Hall building providing a nice background. A photo that will be impossible to replicate in 6 months time.

The Lights Have Stars

A car drove towards me a few nights ago while I was playing around with an 8 star filter on my camera. Most of the time it’s totally overdone, but I liked how this came, especially as the headlights are reflected in the bus shelter.

The Kennedy Quay Skyline

Kennedy Quay this morning as the sun rose, with R&H Hall in the centre of the image, as this skyline will disappear in the next few months.

Note: the sky has been replaced. It was a very dull, overcast day. Hopefully, this is more pleasing to the eye. The old R&H Hall building has not been replaced, yet.

Sky Blue on a cold day

The front of the casino on Winthrop Street is coloured an unusually calming sky-blue or cyan colour. Not the type of colour I’d expect somewhere that wants customers to get excited about losing money to use.

Luckily, Deliveroo uses the same colour and a delivery guy just walked past while I was fishing for a photo!

Two of the dogs at the regular rally supporting Gaza that happened in Cork yesterday. Another large crowd gathered, but these dogs weren’t bothered by the noise and people around.
