I’m Still Standing
Filed in Architecture, Black and White, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, UrbanIt’s wonderful how some of the old buildings in Cork are preserved while all around them their neighbours are demolished and shiny new edifices rise. This one is of course on Emmett Place.
