Film noir in real life, the pictures are always there, materialize for a few brief seconds through the chaos then fade back.

The Crown Dining Liquor Saloon, Belfast This is my favourite watering hole, where you want the Guiness attached via an IV and to be left alone to contemplate the mystery of the inky black goodness standing before you.
Still exploring new processes – a sketched version of one of our Aussie Ettamogah Pubs (this one is in Kellyville, on the northwestern edge of Sydney) – an original colour version is here.

Paddy’s Pub © Vicki Ferrari This was taken at Inverell Pioneer Village in New South Wales, Australia. I would have to have been there when it was a real pub and to have met all the characters that would have been there and to hear all their stories! It reminds me of time gone. When I was there, I could almost hear the horses hooves and hear people talking! It has a peaceful feel to it.

I found this bit of news about the pub online. The fearsome landlady: Kath Duffy runs The Newcastle Packet ‘The first pub round here closed two to three years ago, when the landlady went bankrupt. That was just the beginning. I’ve been in my pub for 26 years and being on the seafront, there were the fishermen. But now – well, I look out of the window and I can only see a couple of little boats. Why are pubs closing down? Because of the supermarkets: as a tenant, I have to buy my beer from the brewery but in the supermarket it’s nearly three times cheaper. You can get two cases for £16 while I’m paying around £40. It’s not easy for us; all we’re doing now is living. The smoking ban was another nail in the coffin. I think we will lose the traditional pub. Instead it’ll all be wine bars and “superpubs” with massive screens selling cheap beer because they’re not tied to a brewery. They can afford to sell at £1.50 a pint – how can you compete with that? On top of that, where people used to come out at eight o’clock at night, they now come at 10pm as everything is open so late. We have a licence until 1am – but there’s a big bar in town open until 3am and a casino with a bar open until 6am. We do what we can, though. We have live music, a piano for a proper sing-song. I don’t stand for any trouble in the pub either. We had a problem with gangs going to the joke shop round the corner, buying stinkbombs, and throwing them in the pub. We lost trade immediately. So I went around to the joke shop, bought some stinkbombs and stamped on them right there. “You stole my trade,” I said, “now I’m going to steal yours.” Things are already hard, but when you get a good day and something like that happens, it’s ruined.’ The Newcastle Packet, Sandside, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, tel: 01723 373 080 / - News Link Below. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/the-lastchance-saloon-can-anyone-save-the-great-british-boozer-854974.html

The Castle Bar is situated in Waterloo Street, Derry. This street is coming down with pubs, probably the best in the city for traditional Irish and rock music. The Castle is a very old bar. It’s back wall is part of the seventeenth century Derry Walls. Upstairs is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young girl. / If you look very closely you can see a bodhran (Irish drum) in the window. On the front of the bodhran is a picture of that famous Irish patriot, Che Guevara (he he). Canon EOS 450D, 18-55mm lens. Single image HDR.

How could you resist composing a shot like this? Clear blue winter sky. Bright red roof. Highly visible yellow signs. And a laconic Aussie sign that says “Keep Right” while the arrow points left! This is the famous Ettamogah Pub, just outside Albury in New South Wales. I’ve stopped here many times and shot the pub in many different weather conditions, but when I stopped there briefly on June 5 this year, the sky was flawless. It was also a marvellous counterpoint for the fresh red paint on the distinctive metal roof. The Ettamogah Pub is based on a fictional pub in a famous Outback cartoon series. It all started with the late Ken Maynard, an Australian police officer who began contributing cartoons in 1958 to a magazine called “The Australasian Post”. His fictional “Ettamogah Pub” – and its strong-jawed Outback drinkers in their blue singlets and shorts – became so famous that someone had the great idea of reconstructing the pub in real life. Interestingly, the project posed a special problem for the architects because there were no right angles or straight lines in Maynard’s rendering! The pub is a huge tourist attraction – despite the sign outside that proclaims with dry Aussie humour, “Free Beer Tomorrow’’. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way.
