Old House on Oilean Chleire
Filed in Black and White, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20Just up the hill from the North Harbour on OIlean Chleire off the County Cork coast.

It’s been there forever, and 15 years ago, the back of the house was a small shop selling sweets and other goodies. It’s a B&B now I think, [...]
