INFOMATIQUE HAS BEEN OPERATIONAL FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS
EXCELLENT STREET IMAGES
SELECT A CITY DUBLIN MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA
At present my main focus is on building and operating a really fast site and that is much more complicated and costly that I had originally expected.
During any given year, 2020 may be an exception because of Covid-19, I spend a week in Belfast, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford and Kilkenny. In 2020 I had also planned to visit Wexford and Sligo. As I live in Dublin city centre I devote much time to visiting and photographing all areas and aspects of the city. All of my photographs, about 160,000, are available to anyone who wishes to use them.
IT IS LONELY HERE
WAITING FOR YOU TO VISIT
This particular site in in many ways experimental and gives me the opportunity to try out different ideas and technologies and at present my main focus is on building and operating a really fast site and that is much more complicated [and costly] that I had originally expected.
ALL PHOTOGRAPHS SUPPLIED BY INFOMATIQUE
Currently I operate a number of websites in order to promote my interests and through my sites I have made available a really large catalog of photographs many of which are available to anyone who wishes to use them.
YOU WILL LIKE BELFAST
I VISIT A FEW TIMES EVERY YEAR
Belfast is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland. Most of Belfast, including the city centre, is in County Antrim, but parts of East and South Belfast are in County Down. It is on the flood plain of the River Lagan. The city's motto is Pro Tanto Quid Retribuamus (roughly Latin for "what shall we give in return for so much").
IT IS AN INTERESTING CITY
CORK IS THE CAPITAL CITY
According to Those Who Live There
The centre of the city is an island between two channels of the River Lee. The channels meet downstream at the eastern end of the city centre, where the quays and docks along the river lead outwards towards Lough Mahon and Cork Harbour, one of the largest natural harbours in the world.
I REALLY ENJOY MY VISITS
LIMERICK CITY
I LIKE THE HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS
The city dates from 812 which is the earliest probable settlement; however, history suggests the presence of earlier settlements in the area surrounding King's Island, the island at the historical city centre. Antiquity's map-maker, Ptolemy, produced in 150 the earliest map of Ireland, showing a place called "Regia" at the same site as King's Island.
GREAT REATAURANTS AND HOTELS
GALWAY CITY
A POPULAT TOURIST DESTINATION
There are a number of really colourful houses in an area of the Claddagh in Galway called The Long Walk. Facing Galway Bay, they are mainly private residences but there are a couple of restaurants at the street entrance as well as the Galway Art Museum.
IN MY OPINION THE HOTELS ARE OVERPRICED
WATERFORD CITY
THERE IS AN ANNUAL STREET ART EVENT
Each year they invite world-class national and international street artists to join them and paint the city’s walls with stunning large scale artwork and 2020 will be no different.
I VISIT IN ORDER TO PHOTOGRAPH THE STREET ART
KILKENNY CITY
Sub Text
Kilkenny is a tourist destination, and its environs include historic buildings such as Kilkenny Castle, St. Canice's Cathedral and round tower, Rothe House, Shee Alms House, Black Abbey, St. Mary's Cathedral, Kilkenny Town Hall, St. Francis Abbey, Grace's Castle, and St. John's Priory.
I WAS UNABLE TO VISIT DURING 2019
2big Dock Thunderbolt™ 3
I USE THIS AND IT IS ALREADY FULL
One of the biggest ongoing problems that I have is storage and the problems gets worse by the year. 4 Years ago I purchased two LaCie 8TB thunder bolt drives and eighteen months later I purchased a 12TB drive and then in August of 2019 I needed a 20TB unit and it is already full. I do have an aggressive backup policy which does require a lot of storage so i suppose that I should not be surprised. I should mention that I use Amazon Photos and currently am using 12TB of online storage.
I REALLY DO NEED A SOLUTION
