6 March 2009 - Whitegate Oil Refinery
Whitegate Oil Refinery in Cork Harbour, as seen from Crosshaven on the other side.
What you’re seeing here is Corkbeg Island in the foreground and this chimney stack in the background. Took me a while to figure that out! Zoom out of either map and draw a straight line through both going south west to pin point where I was standing when I took the photo 
Last night we went down to Cobh to walk around and lucky for us the rain disappeared as we approached the town!
It was strange. There was lots of localised rain yesterday. Blarney was mostly dry, the roads were dry as we drove down but as soon as we crossed the bridge off the main road a steady drizzle enveloped the car.
I gloomily predicted that we’d spend our time in the Cobh in the car or sheltered under an umbrella but just as I parked the car, the drizzle let off and a little blue sky and sunlight peaked through the grey clouds! We had a nice pleasant walk after all!
This was shot at the end of a private row of houses that look on to the harbour. There’s a high chimney near the end of the road that I’d like to find out more about. I’ll have to do some research later on.
I like this: Wyre Wreck #5 – nice use of HDR to create a dramatic image.
