Boats and lobster pots (I presume?) lie on the quay in Bantry. This area is a must see for photographers. There are so many things to see you could spend hours there just snapping away!

Bertie Ahern, who recently announced his resignation as Taoiseach or Prime Minister of Ireland was well known for opening all sorts of events and buildings.
Plaques with his name dot the country.

When you leave the wide open area near the harbour in Bantry you come across really steep hills to the east. I happened to walk that way pushing a buggy so I had to stop and catch my breath here before heading on up.
Bantry is much bigger than I thought before and I should get some nice urban shots there the next time I’m down that way!

While their women folk are in the public loo an enterprising soul will sell them flowers for their better half!

The weather was terrible when I took this. Showers, cold, wind. How I suffer for my art!

I think I saw it in b/w and the lovely texture of the walls.
It could also have been the hill and I wanted a small break from pushing the buggy around too of course.

I love the texture of rope. Yummy.
Looking forward to meeting you all at the photowalk tomorrow!
