Irish Photography Websites
High Street in Bantry, Co. Cork is one of the main streets in the town. It was a gorgeous day when I walked around there and shot this high contrast photo on one of it’s corners.

At least that’s that I think the trunk is for.
Any ideas?

As many of you know blogging has been light here for the past few weeks, but the building works got the better of me and now I hope to get the camera out again and get some pictures, if I can remember how to use the camera.
In other news the site went through a bit of an overhaul behind the scenes, hopefully the pages should load a lot quicker now, and run smoothly across all platforms. A few of the pages will change also over the next day or so, so keep your eyes peeled for that, also the I am going to reduce the categories to the side to a more manageable list.
In Iphone news, will I, wont I?
Who knows, I know I want one, but once again O2 are playing silly buggers, the tariffs have not changed at all (still 1gig data cap) and the 3g Phone will only be available to existing bill pay customers if they are eligible for an upgrade. Speakeasy customers and people switching networks don’t have this clause, they can just walk in and pick one up straight away.
I am eligible for an upgrade, only after asking customer care to push it forward for me, and I assumed a discount depending on upgrade would happen, nope, even though I am due a gold upgrade all it will enable me to do is actually walk in and get an Iphone for the same price as every other Tom, Dick and Harry. This as you can imagine for someone who joined them when Esat launched way back when, and have stuck with them since, is a disgrace, customer loyalty counts for nothing and as such is another reason to put me off getting the most wanted phone on the planet.
Pat Phelan from Cubic Telecom has asked why is there no irish interest in new 3g iphone, some of the comments coming back are very interesting but I will say tariffs once again are the main bugbear.
So anyhow Photos will return very very soon and I appreciate you coming back to check in on me.
So the sunroom is complete and the rain is bucketing down, typical. The build went according to plan, took 21 working days and looks fantastic.
I just wanted to write an entry here because the blog has been the last thing on my mind the past few weeks, also the computer was to put to sleep while walls were knocked down due to dust etc.
Philip Monaghan and his crew at Park Avenue Conservatories cannot be recommended enough, his pricing is competitive and his team work relentlessly through rain or shine. For us to be able to sit in this room already is quite astounding considering other quotes we got were telling us it would be an 8 week build. The finishing should also be mentioned, the wooden ceiling looks amazing and seeing Philips plasterer at work was incredible to watch.
Now they are gone and the garden was tidied up as best they could and now the work begins for both myself and Paula, painting need doing, floors need to go down and furniture rearranged.
But many many thanks to Park Avenue Conservatories for making this build, our first, a very pleasant experience and so much better then we could have imagined. I shall attempt to put up some shots of it over the next day or two.
I tried some of this Cork beer and it was very very tasty. I was surprised to be told they didn’t do Guinness, but this may even have been tastier.
Mal (not pictured) got these lovely sunglasses for protecting his peepers in Biarritz.
How practical.
