Watch out! Duck! I said, “duck!”
Geese at The Lough feeding on the ground near the water’s edge. Most have their heads down pecking at scraps but one stubbornly kept a look out ..
Heavenly Cakes
Some of the delicious cakes in Heavens Cakes in the English Market. Deeeellliicious!
Take off from Quebec Airport
Quebec Airport has all you might need: free wifi, free power at some seats and even a children’s toy area for the kids to play in! Nice sunset too! 🙂
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.
Red Red Rose
Red roses in my father-in-law’s garden, I think. This was shot way back in August but I’m fairly sure of the location.
Wet suits
Wet suits lie out in the sun to dry near Fountainstown Beach, County Cork.
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.
A Vendre
Firewood for sale on the roadside near where we stayed in Quebec.
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.
The old town of Quebec
Quebec city recently celebrated it’s 400th birthday, making it one of the oldest cities in North America! Here’s part of the tourist area of the older part of town. A lovely walk through a beautiful area.
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.
County Hall and the Chimney
Cork County Hall, as seen from a nearby hill in Sunday’s Well. Argh! I hate coming up with blog post titles.
