I’m Still Standing
It’s wonderful how some of the old buildings in Cork are preserved while all around them their neighbours are demolished and shiny new edifices rise. This one is of course on Emmett Place.

A whale of a time in Quebec
A street in Quebec is filled with drawings and messages hanging down from wires above our heads.
Made me think of the “Fail Whale” when I saw this one. Sad.

Sanctuaire de Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré
The Saint Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica in Quebec is an imposing but beautiful building. It’s surrounded by flat river side countryside and low lying buildings so it really stands out.
Got lots more photos from inside, hopefully to be posted over the next few days.

Night Over Quebec
Night falls over Quebec as we finish our tour and photowalk around the city. ISO 1600 came in very useful as the sky got darker! Pictured here are a few of the buildings just outside the old city walls. I think the Hilton is the building on the right.
