Cork St Patrick’s Festival Market
March 22nd, 2006 by Donncha
One side of Academy Street was taken up by a long line of stalls populated by an international host of sellers! There were biscuits and cakes from Brittany, soaps and wooden toys from France, clothes and trinkets from Peru and lots more.
I took a few shots of this scene but I like this one because the famous tower of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells as it’s more commonly known is visible in the top right. Nobody could mistake it for anywhere but Cork. That Barry’s Tea sign is a pretty big give away too of course!

Thanks Micki! I appreciate that. There are plenty more where that came from, if I have time to process them. I may have to post some Chicago shots I had prepared earlier. Ever get that feeling that there are not enough hours in the day?
