No. 20, Bantry
Filed in Architecture, Bantry, Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Houses, Ireland, Photos, UrbanNo. 20, Bantry I walked around Bantry Town a bit snapping the local streets and this house appealed to me.

The tide is very far out and many boats are stranded in the mud. I love the texture of rope. Yummy. Looking forward to meeting you all at the photowalk tomorrow!

The rolling hills of Bantry
Filed in Bantry, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photos, TreesThe rolling hills of Bantry This is one of my favourite shots from the weekend in Bantry.
