Boolaboom at the GPO

A large crowd watching Boolaboom perform in front of the GPO in Cork on Friday night

Boolaboom, a “super-sized brass and percussion big-band” played on Oliver Plunkett Street, in front of the GPO and they were great!

It’s better to be seen

A worker dressed in orange overalls and a hard hat inspects a device he's working on while standing at the edge of a busy road. Cars and busses behind him.

The centre of Cork City will become a traffic free zone this Saturday for a few hours. The area visible in the photo above will still have cars in it, but it’ll be interesting to see what effect this will have on the day.

Visible in the background, of course, is “What is home?” by Dublin-based artist Asbestos.

This photo makes me feel uneasy.

Justice

The word JUSTICE painted on the side of the hoarding surrounding the derelict site on Sullivan’s Quay in Cork seems appropriate.

So many homeless in the city, and this huge area is still a heap of rubble in the middle of the city. Not that whatever gets built there will help the homeless. It was supposed to be the site of a glass covered hotel AFAIR.

A Street Performance for the kids

A street performer at the recent North Main Street festival in late August has the attention of young and old. He's standing in front of "Scotts For Tools", a DIY shop.

At the end of August, North Main Street closed to traffic as a carnival was held there. A huge crowd of adults and children descended on the street and the place was buzzing. 🙂

I wonder if this could be the same man I photographed on a unicycle in 2006?

Reading the Newspaper

Before smart phones, a lot of people read newspapers. This is an older man reading a newspaper on the street.

A long time before smart phones were invented, most people read newspapers. Here’s a man reading such a paper device, back in July 2004, in Galway.

Anyone recognise what broadsheet he was reading?

The Adventures of an Ice cream fridge

An ice cream fridge is loaded into a van from a shop on Patrick's Street, Cork. Two men hold the mid section while another man bends down to lift it up. The end of a van and it's doors are visible on the right.

A fridge is removed from a corner shop on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork. The shop itself is now empty, but I’m sure it won’t be long until a phone shop or vape shop opens there.

Laurel & Hardy Visit Cobh

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy performing on stage in Cobh, Co Cork.

Laurel & Hardy visited Cobh in Co. Cork today, exactly 70 years after they last visited in 1953! The two gentlemen are looking exceedingly well for their age, I’m sure you’ll agree. They put on a fine show, doing several sketches and singing a few favourites and doing a dance.

Lucky Dog Theatre Productions were in town this weekend for this special anniversary, and were helped by Haulbowline Theatre Group. They were so good. There were lots of laughs. 🙂

From Light to Shade

A woman walks up a hill in Lanzarote. She's cover head to ankles in flowing cloth with black and white stripes. A white washed house is behind and she's about to walk from the glare of the sun into the shadow of the house.

A woman walks up a hill in Lanzarote, 2006. The sun is beating down, but she’ll be walking into the small shade afforded by the wall of a house.

Rowing on the River Lee

A rowing boat spotted on the River Lee, with the sun at an angle shining with warm, yellow light. Tree leaves are and grass are visible in the foreground while the hill, houses, road and cars are on the opposite bank.

The Mysterious Woman with Fiery Locks

A detail from a mural showing a red haired woman. Her hair covers half her face. The Moon is visible in the background of the mural, while the top of the house forms an upside down V and a chimney sits on top.

The mural on Sullivans Quay, Cork, is an eye-catching image of a woman with fiery red hair. It was painted in October 2022 by Belgian painter, Kitsune Jolene.

You can read more about the mural here.
