Cobh Train Station, taken just before closing many months ago. It’s a long exposure shot of the interior of a fine building on the quay-side.
“The Queenstown Story”, a museum in the background of this shot is worth a visit and tells the story of the port of Cobh as the last place 3 million Irish people saw before they sailed for the United States. Some of those sailed on the ill-fated Titanic.
The Queenstown Story on virtualtourist.com has more reviews, and pictures of the museum if you’re interested.

Did you process that using the GIMP? Just out of interest…
There’s something very otherworldly about it.
it is very pretty inside there, a lovely interior image!
Thanks for commenting! Yes, all done in the GIMP, although I could probably have got away with just desaturating it a little instead of the long procedure I carried out. Sometimes I don’t know what effect I’m working towards so I’l always happy when it comes out nicely!
Golly, you went to a lot more trouble than I did. I just clicked the shutter. It was closing time when I was there too.
