The Dragon Awakens

The Dragon of Shandon ready to go on the parade, with a woman holding an umbrella looking at it. A single solitary street light provides illumination, apart from the soft light from nearby windows.

The Dragon of Shandon was all ready to travel through Cork City. It was waiting just down the street from Shandon Bells. Raaaarrrrr!

Patient Pooch Steals Attention

A patient dog waits for his owner to find money for a St. Bridget's Cross while two passing women admire the dog.

With a walking stick under his arm, a man pays a young woman for a St. Bridget’s Cross on February 1st, 2023. As he completes the transaction, his loyal dog sits patiently on the ground, gazing away in anticipation of walks to come. Two women pass by and catch sight of the striking canine, drawn to the dog’s friendly aura and bold bandana.

A selfie with the Eiffel Tower

Don’t look back

A woman on her phone looks over her shoulder at some commotion, off camera, that has caught her attention. We’ll never know what.

The Marina will be improved

A cyclist reads a sign next to a road. The sign is blurred due to a narrow depth of field, but is about the Marina Promenade Improvement Works.

Hungry for Ramen

Two young men sitting on a couch, waiting to go into Buga Ramen. One holds a menu. A women looks in from the street, while signs hang on the wall, and one wall is made up of lanterns.

The very colourful Buga Ramen in Valencia is eye catching. The food is really nice there too, but you might have to wait at busy times!

An umbrella in the rain

It's raining and some people are carrying umbrellas to protect themselves from the downpour. Others walk around without, along a street.

Sometimes all you need is an umbrella. When it’s raining, it’s the best thing.

Sweep away the old year

A man uses a large brush to sweep the stret. He is wearing reflective gear, gloves and a woollen beanie.

2023 is almost over here in Ireland. How’s 2024 in Australia? Let’s say goodbye to what has been a mixed year and hope for a better 2024.

Happy new year!

Edit a short while later: I shouldn’t have asked about Australia. They’re suffering from a terrible heatwave of 49.5℃!

Lionel Richie hates this one trick

There’s no ceiling on this building. For the younger reader, watch. 🙂

This long derelict building in Skibereen is an unfortunate eyesore that’s surrounded by a lively town, and shops and buildings decorated for the Christmas season. It stands opposite the entrance to the lovely Abbeystrewry Church and nearby Aldi.

I went back in time through Google Street View, and it has been abandoned and derelict since at least 2009! What a waste.

The Blue Tuk Tuk

A blue tuk tuk driving along the road in front of a blue building, trees and in the far distance a yellow building. The sky has been coloured blue. Blue all over.

A blue tuk tuk driving along in front of the blue Court of Appeal of Lisbon in Portugal. I wonder how comfortable they are on those cobbles?

Michael Collins and the Big Wheel

The statue of Michael Collins in front of the big wheel on Grand Parade, Cork.

I was out and about with friends from Blarney Photography Club on Thursday night, and we got some great shots of the big wheel on Grand Parade. This year the big wheel is joined by a statue of the Big Fellah, Michael Collins.
