Keeping an Eye on the Youngsters Below

The tower of St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, towers over the surrounding buildings and is visible from the big wheel on Grand Parade.

Behind it is the North Cathedral and the distinctive roof of the Firkin Crane is off to the left. In the foreground is the brand-new Capitol building.

First time on the big wheel. Nice view from up top. Thanks Henry!

A crack of sunlight

The spire of St. Anne's Church rises above nearby homes. The Firkin Crane is seen nearby, and the County Hall is far off in the distance. A crack in the cloud cover at the horizon allows in a smattering of light from the setting sun.

There was almost complete cloud cover the other night over Cork as we attempted to photograph the setting sun behind St. Anne’s Church, or Shandon Bells, as it’s known locally.

A few minutes before the official sunset, the horizon caught on fire and briefly lit up. It didn’t last long, and the transition between daylight and night just meant the sky got darker and the air colder around us.
