The grand stairs by which you enter. I had to hand around for some time to get a shot without a lot of people.

1/5 #Dublin Castle

This week a set from a visit to Dublin Castle back in September on a short visit to #Ireland.

Largely 18th century it has a fascinating history as the centre of British power for centuries, but also as a crucial part of the independence process and subsequent history of the Irish state.

Kinsale’s Waterfront Serenity

If you’ve ever been to Kinsale in Co Cork, you’ll immediately recognise the house and tree in the picture above. If you go back in my archives you’ll probably find a photo of it from another angle, but it’s so nice I thought I should take another photo. 🙂

TIL that style of large, spreading tree you see dominating this Kinsale scene is likely a Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), which became incredibly fashionable to plant on Irish estates during the Georgian and Victorian periods. These trees were imported from the eastern Mediterranean and became status symbols for wealthy landowners. Having a mature Cedar of Lebanon on your property basically announced “we’ve been here long enough to grow something this impressive.” They can live for over 1,000 years and develop those distinctive horizontal, layered branches that make them instantly recognisable. The tree in this photograph is probably 150-200 years old based on its size and shape, meaning it was likely planted sometime in the early to mid-1800s when Kinsale was thriving as a fishing port and naval base. So that tree has essentially witnessed the entire modern history of the town!

5/5 Osterley House

For some operator failure related reason my Friday post didn't appear. Here it is.

To finish this set from W London's Osterley House - splendidly presented by @nationaltrustlondon here are two ceilings.

ÉALÚ emergency exit

An emergency exit sign spotted in the first floor window of a building in Kinsale, Co Cork. Despite the shadows, the sign gives a clue to the internal floor plan of the building. It looks a bit out of place, but it has to be there.

Georgian sash windows like this one were originally designed as a fire safety feature themselves. The large panes and sliding mechanism made them easy escape routes during emergencies, which is why many Georgian buildings have windows that open directly onto the street rather than requiring ladders to reach. The modern exit sign is actually continuing a 300-year-old tradition of prioritising safe evacuation!

4/5 Osterley House

Two shots of the main staircase. The first is another vertorama as you can't get far enough back to take it all in a single shot with my ultra-wide. The second is a #lookingup pic.

I wanted to get the carpet and ceiling into this shot of the #Tapestry Room. So I did a multishot #vertorama - a weird perspective but a sense of how the room takes your breath away.

Shadows of North Main Street

A month ago, Cork City Council acquired 4 eyesore buildings at the top of North Main Street in Cork. They are in a prominent location and not used for much over the years – I remember a shoe store in one, a clothes store in the place next to it and a retro goods store too. They’ve been mostly derelict for a long time.

Hopefully they’ll be demolished and we’ll see something decent done with the location.

North Main Street sits on one of Cork’s oldest thoroughfares and was actually built on reclaimed marshland. The street runs parallel to what was once the original course of the River Lee before extensive land reclamation in the 18th and 19th centuries. Many of the Georgian buildings here were constructed using limestone quarried from local Cork quarries, which is why they’ve developed that distinctive weathered patina that photographs so beautifully in black and white.

The Global Warning Guy

If you wander down St. Patrick Street in Cork on a Saturday you’re sure to bump into this gentleman who is there in front of Murray’s with his global warning sign. He’s been there most Saturdays since at least 2016.

It turns out he has nothing to do with global warming, the very real danger all of humanity faces. He’s part of an evangelical Christian movement warning about the end times and judgment coming to the Earth.

Park Square’s elegance features stately Georgian townhouses bathed in morning light. Symmetrical facades, arched windows, and wrought-iron details reflect 19th-century grandeur, offering a glimpse of historic charm.
