The Hi-B: Cork’s Phone-Free Pub Experience

Right, so this is the Hi-B (short for Hibernian Bar), and it’s become genuinely famous for one simple rule: no mobile phones allowed inside. That glowing red and gold Art Deco-style entrance practically screams “we’re doing things our own way,” and the “est 1791” proudly displayed tells you this pub has survived long enough to have opinions about modern technology.

The Jazz Festival Parade

I did not know that there would be a small parade of brass bands down Oliver Plunkett Street until my wife was told about it an hour before!

It was just after sunset and dark and getting cold but there was huge excitement as the crowd followed the musicians down the street.

Irish Terrier Practises Street Yoga

Was it yoga, or was there another dog just out of frame and this Irish Terrier wanted to be friends?

Irish Terriers are one of the oldest terrier breeds and are nicknamed “daredevils” because of their famously spirited and fearless temperament. During World War I, Irish Terriers were used as messenger dogs in the trenches, carrying communications between units under incredibly dangerous conditions. They were so effective and brave that they earned widespread admiration. One officer wrote that they were “extraordinarily intelligent, faithful, and honest, and a man who has one of them as a companion will never lack a true friend.” That stretching behaviour you see in the photo? It’s actually a natural “play bow”. Dogs use it not just to stretch their muscles but also as a social signal to other dogs (and sometimes humans) that they’re feeling playful and want to engage. So this little terrier might just be inviting passersby on Oliver Plunkett Street to join in the fun!

The Family Shenanigans in Cork, part 1

The Family Shenanigans parade organised by Cork Community Art Link took place today in Cork and what a blast it was! There was so much energy, happiness and laughter!

This is only a small selection of the photos from today. More to come tomorrow.

The Lights of Oliver Plunkett Street

Christmas lights brighten up the evening in Oliver Plunkett Street, Cork, last night.

#2024 #ChristmasDecorations #Cork #Ireland #OliverPlunkettStreet #Photo #Photography #SonyA7RV

A festive street scene with stunning Christmas decorations in what appears to be a busy shopping district. The most striking feature is the canopy of warm golden lights creating a magical ceiling effect above the street, with thousands of twinkling fairy lights hanging down in curtain-like formations. Large red illuminated spheres and zigzag light decorations add pops of colour, while blue snowflake motifs provide a wintry touch. The street is lined with various shops and businesses, including a visible "Kelly's Restaurant" sign. In the foreground, silhouettes of pedestrians can be seen walking along the street, suggesting a lively evening atmosphere. The overall effect creates a warm, inviting ambiance typical of urban Christmas displays, transforming an ordinary street into a magical winter wonderland.

Christmas Lights and Light Trails

A scooter swerved in front of my camera just as I took a photo of Oliver Plunkett Street tonight. I wonder if it was the rider’s intention to ruin the photo, but they made it much better. 🙂

Thanks Henry for organising the night out!

This image captures a nighttime urban street scene decorated with festive Christmas lights. The main feature is a beautiful canopy of warm white string lights hanging overhead, creating a glittering ceiling effect along the street. In the foreground, there's a striking light trail effect created by passing vehicle lights - a curved red streak and a blue streak across the dark pavement. The street appears to be a commercial area, with the "Bar Barossa" establishment visible on the left side, advertising "Open Late 7 Nights" and "Good Food Served Daily." The overall atmosphere is enhanced by various illuminated decorations, including red neon shapes and additional holiday lighting displays along the building facades. The composition creates a compelling sense of depth, with the light canopy drawing the eye down the curved street into the distance. The contrast between the warm golden overhead lights, the cool blue ambient lighting from storefronts, and the dramatic red light trail creates a dynamic and festive urban nightscape.

This is the sort of contrasts you’ll see in Cork City during the Jazz weekend. Loads of people dressed to go out for the night, surrounded by shoppers and families dressed for a late October day.

The music on the street was great!

The image depicts a lively street scene where a woman in an eye-catching, bright orange ruffled dress and black high heels is walking among other pedestrians. She holds a drink in each hand. The street is wet, suggesting recent rain, and people around her are dressed in various styles, including casual and business attire. Shops with signs like "Karizma" and "Cronins" are visible in the background, adding to the urban setting.

After the Pro Palestinian march walked past and down Oliver Plunkett Street in Cork. There is so much anger at what the Israeli army is doing in Gaza.

How can anyone in their right mind support Netanyahu and his Government after all they’ve done? Hamas are terrorists, but Israel bombing cities and homes and hospitals to rubble and killing tens of thousands of people is not going to address their problems. They’re just laying the groundwork for a perpetual war that will never end.

It’s a serious problem all over the world. Crows are walking on people. In Cork, they put up signs hoping to discourage the crows, but instead the crows just walk on the signs.

Me and Robert on Oliver Plunkett Street in front of the Old Oak

I never did give Robert the expired rolls of film I promised him. I even took them with me the last time we did street photography in Cork, but I left them in the car. “Next time”, I said to him.

The odd thing about photography is, I have loads of photos of perfect strangers, but not many of people I know. Lightroom says I only have 38 photos of Robert, going back to 2015.

He was such a larger than life figure, enthusiastic about all things photography, especially Leica and street photography. A lovely guy to meet for a walk around town and a chat afterwards.

Can’t believe you’re gone, Robert. They better have cameras there.
