  1. Red Cans and Boat Plans

    Twenty years ago, I visited Baltimore in Co Cork and photographed these people coming from a boat in the harbour. They were in great form, with smiles all around. 🙂

  4. #throwbackthursday

    Cork docks 1969, one of my first photos.
    Diana plastic camera & 120 roll film. The camera cost 10 Schillings, bought in Lehanes grocer shop (now Centra) Rossa Avenue, Bishopstown.

    Purchased the film from the chemist shop (now Spice Town?) in Uam Var Ave and the kind man, in a white coat, showed me how to put the film in.

  5. #standingStoneSunday

    Cork city, Ardmahon estate.

    The estate was built aligned with the stone, so it didn't need to be removed.

    One of the children raised in the house went on to become an archaeologist!

  6. Cork City '80s tidal flooding Oliver Plunket St. Cyclist & 'The Brass Boot'

    The OPW plan to top the historic Georgian quay walls with concrete to prevent tidal flooding. Geologists & Engineers I've listened to think it won't work in the city's marshy foundation. Alternative: tidal barrier

  7. My 1970 Xmas pressies with Paterson b/w negative film processing which I used later for processing many cork slide film photos.

    Also Lego with electric motor, 'Monkey Race' & a model boat kit. I did well!

  8. Clannad 50th Anniversary Farewell Tour in Cork

    Clannad, the Irish band that is this year celebrating 50 years together began the year with a Farewell Tour. They played in the Opera House in Cork in early March when I saw them and they were great. I didn’t know much of their music beyond the obvious themes to Robin Hood or the Harry’s Game but I’m a fan since!

    Hopefully they will be able to continue their tour but as of now, from a snapshot of their site from March 28th they have rescheduled shows up to the end of May. I’d say it’s likely they’ll have to postpone even more of those shows unfortunately.

  9. Abandoned Train Station


    Abandoned Train Station

    In Mogeely, East Cork, there’s an abandoned train station from I don’t know how long ago. According to Wikipedia, it’s unlikely that the station will be restored because there isn’t enough demand. The Cork-Midleton line will, however, open by 2008.
    While researching this post I found out that the nearby town of Killeagh was an important place in the Fenian Rising of 1867!

  10. Run around and around!


    Run around and around!

    Children running around a labyrinth on The Grand Parade.
    Schools, churches, community groups and businesses around Cork were asked to design them as part of the closing ceremonies of Cork City of Culture 2005.
