Shandon Bells as seen from the top of Patrick’s Hill, from the wall surrounding Bells Field.

Shandon Bells and Houses

Shandon Bells, seen from a slightly different perspective than the one at Bell’s Field we’re used to. It’s surrounded by houses and roads, and even by the nearby brewery, of which you can see a small portion of in this photo.

The top of Shandon Bells, the tower of St. Anne’s Church in Cork City as seen from Bell’s Field. I’d like to visit that tower again and photograph Bell’s Field from there. 🙂
