The hill is even steeper than appears here, running down and over the north channel of the River Lee and into Cork’s main shopping thoroughfare St Patrick’s Street. Note the lights of the southern part of the city and, in the far distance, the airport. Another from the great collection of Jedrzej Niezgoda

That is a steep hill (as a cyclist, I wonder if I’ve stand any chance on it at all), but I was more immediately captured by that sky. 🙂

Well, Lance Armstrong famously pulled out of riding up it in 2009 Janna 🙂 I ran up it once (after a fashion) to my cousin’s house at the top. But yes, that moonlight struggling behind the clouds is magic.

That’s a spectacular photo, Roy! I don’t think I’d want to head down that street in roller skates! 🙂

Ah good, thanks Jenny. There are so many good photographers out there, as well as writers, it’s nice to give a bit of exposure to a few.

Photographs like that explain how banshees and fairies abounded long ago.I bookmarked your link. There are really beautiful images there. Nice to read about his exhibition on Éire in Poland. It`s always interesting to read about a foreigner`s perspective on our country. Especially if they`re being honest, of course.
And especially from those like you, Roy, who know us and our place and gain a different insight from living abroad.

And lucky are those that can appreciate the beauties of the place they live. Ireland has plenty of those and this young man captures the essence brilliantly.

It’s the same but the Irish just built it straight 🙂 You wouldn’t want your brakes to fail going down it though. Thanks for your visit Shakti.

Indeed it is Naomi, and apparently not touched up in any way. It’s no wonder as Red Hen says ^^ that imaginations ran riot in simpler times.
