Lisbon Pics

Posted on November 21, 2012 by Cormac O'Keeffe

Here are some snaps I took on my phone in Lisbon on a work/holiday trip recenty. Serious photographers would have no shortage of images and inspiration there. This set involves five pics taken from the top of the Elevador da Gloria, which rattles up the steep climb from Praca dos Restauradores to party central in Bairro Alto.

About Cormac O'Keeffe

2018 was a special year for me: my debut novel Black Water was published. It was a long and bumpy ride, as a quick glance over my posts will show! 'Black Water' is a crime novel set in Dublin's gangland, along the evocative Grand Canal. You'll also find some photography on this blog, particularly snaps that relate to my novel. There are also some book reviews I have written, both fiction and non-fiction, many of them published in the Irish Examiner, a daily national newspaper in Ireland. I work as security correspondent there and have specialist interests in crime, drugs, policing, the justice system, communities and human rights. Both my personal life and my professional life have fed into my novel, or, rather, have been poured into it. My novel was granted a literature bursary by the Irish Arts Council in September 2014 and my journalistic work has won multiple awards from the Law Society of Ireland over many years, most recently in 2015.
