As I mentioned on the previous photo of the unique Shaky Bridge, it is a must for everybody in Cork with a camera.  With this shot I tried to get a different view of the bridge on a fantastic sunny September afternoon.

Last year, I posted a photo from the Lee Swim and said I’d do it this year.  Well, I’m all signed up to do it but unfortunately I’ve been out of work sick this week for a couple of days and there’s no way I could take part.  I’d only pick up something else if I tried.  So I’m going to be there again with my camera.  I wish I could take part because I actually enjoyed the swim part of last weeks triathlon, which is unusual for me!

Good luck to everybody taking part.

One more photo from the picturesque Guagán.  If you’re visiting Cork and it’s not actually raining, this is a lovely place to visit.

The oft-photographed little church at Guagán Barra a few miles on from Béal Atha an Ghaorthaidh.  This is the starting point of the River Lee which runs all the way to Cork City.

The church here is tiny with just enough room for one person to go up the aisle.  I played the uilleann pipes at a wedding here when I was barely a teenager for my neighbour who was teaching me the violin at the time.  Brave move (for her!) but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I still play some of the tunes I learned for that wedding to this day.  I no longer play the violin though!

In recent years the traditional Lee Swim has been re-instated.  I was almost convinced to do it this year but didn’t do so in the end.  I might do it next year though, which seems an awful long way off at the moment…  Above, one of the competitors swims under the quite recently built Cornmarket Street Bridge while spectators enjoy the sunshine.  Sometimes, just watching an event can be enough!

Taken from Christy Ring Bridge looking back down towards R&H Hall.  I’ll be calling down there this morning as there are massive balloons up on these buildings as part of the Culture Night which happened last night.

Another photo of the Jeanie Johnston from last weekend.  She was still docked in Cork over this weekend but I’m not sure how much longer she’ll be there.

The Clarion Hotel (left) and an office block (right) which houses the Examiner and Evening Echo offices among others shimmering off a full tide of the River Lee. These buildings are recent enough additions to the Cork landscape and have certainly livened up this area.
