Queen Elizabeth 2

Queen Elizabeth 2

Luxury cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2 tied up at the quayside in Cobh, Co Cork last Thursday. This was moments before she cast off. You can see a tug in the background of this image.

It was bitterly cold down on the quay, but we were lucky that the evening sun cast a lovely golden glow over everything.

    Great shot Donncha, love the compressed perspective and muted tones. As usual the beautiful light makes all the difference.

    Thanks Ciara and Davy!

    Phil – I thought the same, but I think it’s the angle I took the photo from. From directly in front is looks like another boring old regular font!
