Elysian Under Cover
Filed in Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, UrbanThe Elysian, as it was in March 2008, still under construction while the Irish Economy economy fell apart around it.
The Elysian, as seen from Merchant’s Quay carpark on a bright day in May. You can also see numerous other buildings and get a feel for how the 17 storeys of this tall building looms over the rest of the city. Must be a great view from up there!
