In between heavy showers, the far away hills visible from Killarney National Park are lovely shades of grey.

When did you last use a public phone?
The public phones at the top of St. Patrick’s Street Cork are in a sorry state. Eircom, the original national phone company in Ireland, haven’t been known publicly as Eircom since 2015 according to the Eir Wikipedia page.
They really should get rid of those eyesores.

Silhouettes of the Walkers
Walkers in Killarney National Park a week ago when I was there trying to photograph the stags. A huge group of people out on a Saturday morning when a storm passed overhead and thunder and lightning filled the air.
A few of us from Blarney Photography Club braved the elements for our photography!

The Gang is Watching
A gang of Kerry cattle observe me and a group of humans as we walk past their field.
Fun fact – they are “believed to be one of the oldest breeds in Europe” according to Wikipedia. 🙂

The Eiffel Bridge
The Eiffel Bridge (Pont de les Peixateries Velles) over the Onyar River in Girona is an eye catching red bridge. It was built by Gustave Eiffel, just before he built the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
There appears to be a few Eiffel Bridges around the world, and strangely enough, this one isn’t listed on that Wikipedia page.

Girona Cathedral
I should have done more research before visiting Girona. I would have found out it was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones. As it is, I walked up a cobbled street, rounded a bend, under an archway and saw the magnificent Cathedral, the Cathedral of Saint Mary of Girona, before me.
The staircase is instantly recognisable if you have watched Game of Thrones, and according to that site I linked above, they used several locations around the old city.
The view from the front of the Cathedral doesn’t quite match what viewers saw in Game of Thrones. The sea and a much bigger courtyard appear in the show.
Buildings surround the Cathedral, with shuttered rooms and small balconies.
I really want to come back some time. The old city is full of atmosphere and narrow streets.
