No filter used. As you can see the street lights further up Cathedral Road have an orange (normal?) glow. The photo was originally scanned from a transparency, although that should hardly matter. So no definitive answer I'm afraid.

The former offices of R&H Hall at Kennedy Quay. The distinctive art deco styled building (pictured top c. 2000) has seen better days and most likely will soon be no more #Cork #Ireland

Dual pedestrian - cycle routes are not feasible in Ireland as it stands. They are too dangerous for walkers.

Walkers are taking their life in their hands on the Midleton to Youghal section at the moment.

Kennedy Quay, Cork city in September 1985 when warships of the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union docked practically side by side. There wasn’t to be any engagement between the superpowers however. When questioned, Rear Admiral Gromov curtly responded that “There won’t be any contact with the Americans".

Barnahely Castle, Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork. It's history stretches back to 1169 when a Norman chief named Miles De Cogan acquired the surrounding land and built the castle and a tower to guard it #Ireland

Crew members of the Soviet anti-submarine destroyer ‘Soobrazitelny’ on a courtesy visit to Cork city in 1985. Amid speculation that the ship was carrying nuclear-guided missiles, protestors from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament picketed the vessel throughout its three-day visit #Ireland #Cork

If that’s the case, it was disgraceful double-speak by Harris.

My apologies. Nineties it was, my filing ‘system’ definitely needs updating. Not an OM10 shot in that case.

One of my earliest Cork city landscapes, an early morning view of Morrisons Island in the 1970s, taken with with my first 'serious' camera - an Olympus OM10 SLR. The muted colours and grainy effect have always appealed to me.
