Distracted in Arrecife

Something caught her eye as she walked along. I don’t know what. I took this photo in 2006, but only noticed it a few days ago. Arrecife, Lanzarote. 2006.

A tiny red car

A tiny red car

I spotted a tiny red car parked on a bend in Ardara, Co Donegal on a visit there in 2017. I forgot to take a photo of the logo on the bonnet, so if anyone knows what type of car it is, please let me know! Lovely town too.

My 2020 Spy

Far back in time, to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, a film called My Spy was due to appear in cinemas on March 13th, 2020. Unfortunately, the country went into lockdown on March 27th. This photo was taken in May that year. Adverts hadn’t been changed in most places. Hoardings still had the same slogan for months, buses were the same. The banners on the Cork Opera House looked the worse for…

Even Cork fans have to take a break and this man was enjoying his ice cream on Daunt Square, on Patrick Street, Cork back in 2006.

Robin on the Ground

Robin on the Ground

A few weeks ago, I visited Blarney Castle to take some photos of the Autumn colours. Unfortunately the light was dull, and the ground was wet, but I had my tripod with me, so I set it up for some long exposure shots. After a few minutes of that, I noticed a flicker out of the corner of my eye. I spotted a robin almost right in front of me! He was literally standing on the large log next to the…

Sparklers! 2 for €3!

Sparklers! 2 for €3!

A man selling sparklers on Henry Street, Dublin on Halloween this year. He promised that 2 for €3 was better than in the shops where they are 1 for €2, and he was right as we were in a Eurogiant later on! We didn’t buy any sparklers. He had plenty left over when we passed him again.

Jokers & Witches

Just some Jokers and witches on O’Connell Bridge in Dublin on Halloween night. I stopped the Jokers for a photo, and the two witches wanted to take part too!

On the bike in Girona

On the bike in Girona

What I saw of the old part of Girona is one long pedestrianised road like you see this photo. It’s a long straight part here but then winds around to the area of the Cathedral. I did see a small van drive down there but they were at least careful. Pedestrians were number 1. Other parts are not so nice. A three lane street leads out of the city towards Barcelona.

The Northside Water Tower

The Northside Water Tower

The “futuristic” water tower that sits on Kilmore Road Lower in Knocknaheeny is seen from Bell’s Field in this photo taken in July this year. It was completed in 1972 and Councillor Gerald Yael Goldberg (1912-2003) described the water tower as ‘futuristic’ but predicted that it would ‘fit into the landscape’. I’m not so sure. It’s in such a prominent spot it can be seen as far away as Blarney.

From North Side to County

From North Side to County

A sight well known to anyone who lives in Cork City. The Spire of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells stands like a beacon. The Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne is just off shot to the right, out of this shot. The County Hall can be seen far off in the distance out on the Carrigrohane Road. That building was once the tallest building in Ireland. Look back further and you’ll see fields on the…

On the Onyar River

On the Onyar River

The Onyar River flows through the city of Girona in Spain. Photographed in August when I was surprised to see any water at all considering the dreadful drought that hit Europe in the summer. Colourful buildings line the banks of the river and the Cathedral can be seen in the background of a clear blue sky.
