A construction platform of some type sits in the River Lee, Cork in this photo shot in April 2008. I’m sure I have a photo of it up by Sullivan’s Quay too.

Look up and see naked branches cover the sky with their evil and treacherous appendages, and then walk straight into some dog sh*t that an uncaring owner neglected to clean up.

Yellow spots mark the parking spaces while the Elysian looms overhead!

Volunteers sang their hearts out in Ballincollig a few days ago for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Collection. Happy Christmas! Hope you have a great day!

The Elysian, as it was in March 2008, still under construction while the Irish Economy economy fell apart around it.

Bare naked trees are all you’ll see along the Marina in Blackrock at this time of year but in April the leaves are budding and life is returning.

I am Legend.

Strong shadows in exceptionally bright sunlight in May 2008 in Blarney.

An Alpaca stared intently at me while he munched on some straw in Blarney on Saturday.

Several Alpacas were in Blarney earlier as part of a Bothar promotion to encourage people to support them. The animals, including one donkey, were a big hit with the kids. I only had my 50mm lens with me so no wide angle shots, but I did get a couple of nice ones.

Supporting bars criss cross the arm of a crane on Cork’s Docklands in 2005. Probably the same crane I posted a few days ago.
