Its Saturday, and this is a sign on Capel Street. “The Irish Firm” is painted below it. And the new shop below that, well it sells interesting toys for adults.
No idea if the pink neon rock is related to the current shop.

It looks like I got a nice macro shot from inside a pinball machine, but in reality those things aren’t that dark.

It’s a plaza or Square beside Dublin city Hall on Dame’s Street. The “pinballs” are embedded on the edge of the concrete seas to prevent skateboarders doing their thing.
OK, they are traffic cameras and not robots. But the 10 year old in me can dream.

How do you make a photograph of a cold scene look colder?
Add blue?

The first of February is Saint Brigid’s Day. Today is also “Candlemas”.
While I don’t know her story, she is linked to Kildare, Which translates as “The church of the Oak”, and this is a feature in the centre of Kildare Town. So flames from Kildare.

Starling looking for trouble. And feeding.
Sometimes you just want to get away… and you’ve only just arrived.

Its not very often I have to thank comment spam for something, but in this case its giving you this picture.
This year has been hectic, and a few days ago I dumped the contents of my camera’s memory card on to a stick before bringing it with me out in the cold. For the record I was worried about corruption in the frost, naturally the camera never got used.
Anyway, I got a change to glance through the pictures taken since September. And I discovered the later shots taken as part of a photowalk in Cork. Not the ones from the start of the walk, but only the later ones.
I was convinced that I had lost them. Then I had to go in to my comment spam, only to discover a comment on one of my photos from the walk. Turns out I had uploaded them, but left some of the later ones on the memory card.
I still have three months of photographs to process, but I haven’t lost anything. Except my mind of course.
2009 has been a year of mess and hassle. I’m hoping for improvements in 2010. But thanks to early morning traffic mysteriously vanishing off the roads on the run up to Christmas, there is already a small improvement; five minutes extra in bed.
Here’s hoping for a great 2010.
Will
