Across the Nano Nagle Bridge

This footbridge was built in the 80s and is an indispensable connection between Grand Parade and Sullivan’s Quay in Cork.

Seeing the trees in this photo reminded me that there aren’t many trees in the City Centre any more. 🙁

The Tide is Out

The Tide is Out

Low tide on the River Lee recently, but with the talk of drought in Europe this summer, it’s hard not to jump to the conclusion that the water level is extra low.

I drove by the river yesterday evening during high tide. The water was only 30cm or less below the level of the street, an extremely high tide, and quite a contrast to the low!

Shadows on Nano Nagle Bridge

Shadows lengthen on Nano Nagle Bridge this afternoon. First time out with Rebel Street Photography, even if it was just two of us after a two year break.

It was a lovely day for a walk around town. The sun shone from a blue sky, but in the shadows it was still cool. Catching up with a friend after two years was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Blue Cork

Looking across the River Lee towards the Crawford College Of Art And Design next to Nano Nagle Bridge.

This was back in August 2019 when construction of the Event Center hadn’t eve.. oh wait, it still hasn’t started, but at least the red brick student accommodation on South Main Street was built.

Up until about an hour ago this has sat in my “to be published” collection as a black and white image but then I switched to colour, played around with it a little more and I prefer this.
