Ferris Wheel and Reflection
Henry spotted the reflection of the ferris wheel in this parked car on the Grand Parade in Cork.
Chugging away at Christmas Time
At the SHARE crib on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork earlier this month. Street fundraisers for SHARE were everywhere again this month, and even had tap-and-pay machines to pay by credit card or phone.
Lights along the Lee
Lights along the River Lee a couple of weeks ago when I joined Henry and Vivien for some photography. Henry got a fabulous shot of the wheel. I’ll be posting some more shots of this over the next few days.
The Lights of the Samuel Beckett Bridge
The Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin and the lights of the Convention Centre Dublin fight for attention. Red and Green lights reflect off the River Liffey on a warm October evening earlier this year.
Oscar in the snow
Twelve years ago today, it had snowed heavily in Blarney. I took Oscar out for a walk that morning and brought my camera along because of the snow! I don’t think he really minded the cold, but he was always happy to get home, snow or not!
Hope for Happiness
A man on the streets of Madrid laughs as he grabs a friend’s arm.
The Ferris Wheel after Sunset
The Ferris Wheel on Grand Parade in Cork pictured just after sunset, in December 2016. This year the wheel is further up the street so you can’t get this photo now. I haven’t been in town at sunset this month either but hopefully someone got a nice sunset photo of the wheel this year.
Get Tsingtao Beer in San Francisco!
Walking down a street in San Francisco and this sign for Tsingtao Beer caught my eye. This was taken in 2007, during an Automattic meetup, which later became known as a Grand Meetup. In 2007, the company was so small, it wasn’t so Grand, but it was Great!
Gardai in the shop
Gardai enter a shop on Grafton Street, late one evening in October this year. Their uniforms match the bright yellow shop colours.
A Garda car in the rain
A Garda car speeds past with lights flashing outside Trinity in Dublin a few weeks back. Rain made the evening miserable, but I had an umbrella and there were still loads of people about.
Nollaig Shona ó Chorcaigh
The “Nollaig Shona Duit” signs at both ends of St. Patrick’s Street in Cork are all lit up again this year.
The Ferris Wheel and the Crystal Ball
The Ferris wheel on Grand Parade in Cork on a freezing December evening. The whole scene is twisted upside down in a small crystal ball. Thanks Henry for all the help, and the crystal ball!
