Light shines vertically
In Sandycove Store & Yard a few weeks ago and it was a beautiful afternoon. The sun shone through the open roof, making it a lovely place to stop for a coffee and treat.
Sunset on the M8

Life Saving Devices at the Beach

A starling perched on a railing in the seaside town of Dún Laoghaire watches the goings-on in the nearby café. Pickings will be slim today as the establishment is being renovated and is not serving customers today!
The Street is Leaning
When your dog leans over so much that the world leans the other way.
The South Main Street Construction Site
The hoarding surrounding Bishop Lucey Park in Cork fits in with the construction site that is South Main Street currently. You’d have to wonder why did they bother putting up hoarding at all? All along the street, they’re working on it and even down Tuckey Street too.
