Cork City Hall
Cork City Hall, on the banks of the River Lee. Shot on the same night as yesterday’s shot of Gardner House. Also not the first time I’ve posted a photo of City Hall! Only 9 places left for the photowalk. Unfortunately the weather forecast for Saturday is bad so umbrellas and raincoats are a must….
Gardner House
As I mentioned already in my Polish Coal post, my dad worked in Suttons Coals for years. Gardner House on the South Mall in Cork used to be called Suttons House but then coal’s fortunes changed. Oil and gas became more popular. Legislation banned any coal other than smokeless coal from urban areas and the…
Daly’s Bridge
Daly’s Bridge over the River Lee, or The Shakey Bridge is it’s locally. Shot on the way back to the car after SPWC on Sunday. This is the bridge that David Rowell & Co built!
Under the Shaky Bridge
The Shaky Bridge over the River Lee in Cork is just outside Fitzgerald’s Park.
The banks of the Lee
The River Lee runs through Cork City along two channels with an island in the middle. That island is where the City Center is and provides for plenty of opportunities shooting the river 🙂 Shot during the pre-iba09 photowalk ages ago.
Blackrock Boat
A rowing boat lies just below the waterline in Blackrock village, Cork. Tide’s out so it’s not going anywhere!
Construction in Chicago
Construction work on the Trump Tower in 2005.
Burned out car
A burned out car lies upside down next to the river in Inniscarra, Co Cork. I wonder if it’s still there?
Car bits in the water
Bits of a car that lay abandoned and burned out in Inniscarra next to the river.
The basement of Trump Tower
In 2001 Donald Trump announced he’d build the tallest building in the world in Chicago, “Trump International Hotel and Tower”. After the attacks on the WTC in September that year the plans were changed however, but it’s still an awfully high building. Check out the Wikipedia page for further details. This is the building site…
Chicago on the river
Many cites live and depend on rivers and none more so than Chicago which went as far as to reverse the flow of the Chicago River! Wikipedia has more of course. The observant visitor will notice the twin towers of Marina City in the photo above, and possibly recognise the distinctive bridge from the latest…
A touch of colour
A slightly different version of yesteryday’s black and white shot of the River Lee. Which one do you prefer?
