Cape Clear’s Car Graveyard
What happens to old cars is one of the harsh realities of island life that doesn’t make it into the tourist brochures.
Getting a dead vehicle off Cape Clear isn’t as simple as calling a scrap dealer as everything has to go by ferry, which makes the economics of removal pretty grim for islanders already dealing with the higher costs of island living.
Transfusion Art Gallery at the City Hall
I helped the kind folk at TENI set up a small art exhibit in cork City Hall yesterday. Transfusion features art made by young trans people, including a pencil drawing by the late Jordan Howe. She was a 19 year-old transgender woman from Belfast who took her own life because of transphobic bullying in 2014.

The Red Van Chronicles
A trader at the market in Bantry puts his stuff away at the end of the market day. During the day, stalls are set up around the main square (well, rectangle, technically) as well as in a nearby car park.
Yes, he was parked in an accessible parking spot, which made this more interesting, but the car park was full of traders that day, and nobody else was parking there.

Cork Before The Elysian
Remember Cork before The Elysian was built? It's almost 20 years old now, so there are many people around who never saw Cork City Hall like this, without the tower block behind it.
Street Life with Man’s Best Friend
I love dogs, so when I see one in town I always try to get a photo.

Trading Tales and Treasures
Two men enjoying a chat at the Bantry market almost exactly a year ago this week.

A Home Surrendered to Time
An old abandoned house on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula in Co. Cork. This isn’t the first time I’ve photographed it. In 2017 it looked much the same, but not quite as overgrown.

The wooden post in this photograph is part of Youghal’s coastal defence system called groynes. They are structures built perpendicular to the shore to prevent beach erosion by trapping sand moved by longshore drift. These timber groynes at Youghal are regularly maintained and replaced as part of ongoing coastal management efforts by Cork County Council. The long exposure technique used in this photograph typically requires exposure times of 30 seconds to several minutes, using neutral density filters to reduce the amount of light entering the camera, which creates the smooth, ethereal water effect by averaging out the motion of waves over time.

The Rebirth of Páirc Uí Chaoimh
On this day when Tipperary beat Cork in the All Ireland Hurling Final I thought it appropriate to show these old photos of Páirc Uí Chaoimh in 2016 and 2017 when it was being rebuilt. The only time I’ve been to the new stadium was to see Bruce Springsteen play there, which just goes to show you how much interest I have in sports.
Visit the post to see the panoramas. :)

The Watchtower and Seaside Blooms
The lifeguard tower at the end of the main section of the beach at Youghal. The beach does continue on, but the sand was green with algae and it was obvious it’s not used by humans much.

Warning: Photographers at Work
Some members of Blarney Photography Club as they worked with their cameras just off the beach in Youghal, Co. Cork last night.

The Social Side of Shopping
When you've been to the shops, it's nice to sit down with a friend for a chat.

Anything I should see when visiting Cork today that’s within walking distance of Cork city centre? (Cork Kent if need to be more specific.)
Preferably not something that’s too crowded (in other words autistic sensory friendly).
I know it’s not very specific request.
