The Babbling Head

One of the heads in a fabulous art exhibit in The Crawford Art Gallery in Cork. This head was only one of many, all suspended in the air by thin threads, and with a mouth that opens and closes continuously.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure who the artist is who created this installation. If anyone knows, please leave a comment!

Edit: I heard from the person who runs the Crawford Instagram account! This work is called “Doubt Ensemble”, by Peter Nash.

Consecration of St Mel, Bishop of Longford by St Patrick

There’s a dark room in the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, with 3 stained glass works by Harry Clarke. This photo is one of those and should be seen in person if you’re in Cork.

They were made by Clarke while he was in his early twenties, and still a student at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art. In 1911, he was awarded a highly covered gold medal for these works at the South Kensington National Competitions.

Light trails under the High Street Bridge

Cars go up and down the South Link Road underneath the High Street Bridge in Cork.

The bridge was built in 1984, to replace another bridge that crossed the Bandon railway line that stood there since 1850!

Light trails and Christmas lights

There’s a four lane highway through Malaga but in December and January they have great decorations over the street.

The perfect time to take some long exposure shots of passing traffic!

Loading the containers

Loading a container ship in Malaga Harbour. The sun has already set but there’s a lovely glow in the sky!

Trying something new this time. You’ll probably have the visit the site to get the full effect. I’ll be uploading these images to Instagram shortly.

As before, these images were cut up with the convert command:
