Saint Finbarre's Cathedral, also spelled Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral (Irish: Ardeaglais Naomh Fionnbarra) is a Church of Ireland cathedral located in Cork City, Republic of Ireland. The site of the cathedral has been a place of worship since the 7th century. The three spires of the cathedral are one of Cork's main landmarks. It is the seat of the Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, currently Bishop Paul Colton. It is named after Cork's patron saint.
A Medieval Cathedral was situated on the site prior to the 18th Century building, but few traces of it are visible. The cathedral was damaged during the siege of Cork in 1689/90, when it came under fire from the nearby Elizabeth Fort. When the steeple was demolished in 1865, a 24-pound cannon was discovered, which is now on display in the cathedral.
A small Neo-Classical building was constructed on the site in 1735 by Bishop Peter Browne. It was demolished in 1865 to make way for the present cathedral. The 1735 entrance gate survived the re-building and is still in use.
Architect William Burges began work on the present Gothic Revival cathedral in 1862. Construction started on the cathedral in 1865 and in 1870 the unfinished building was consecrated. The towers and spires were finally completed in 1879.
Burges gifted a Resurrection Angel, made of copper and gold leaf, which is located on the pinnacle of the sanctuary roof. There is a local superstition which states that if ever the angel falls, it would signify the end of the world.
It has rained every day now since day 298 which is weird cos even tho it isn't exactly warm in blighty at the best of times it doesn't usually rain this often.
However I did find out why today. The 15th of july is St Swithins day. It all makes sense now (Not)
I've stuck some St Swithins stuff below explaining the whole old wives tale of how all this come about, but it is pretty boring...... You have been warned!!!
St. Swithin's Day is 15 July, a day on which people watch the weather, for tradition says, that whatever the weather is like on St. Swithin's Day, it will continue so for the next forty days.
There is a weather-rhyme is well known throughout the British Isles since Elizabethan times.
'St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St. Swithin's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain nae mair.'
dost = does
thou = you
nae mair = no more.
St. Swithin (or more properly, Swithun) was a Saxon Bishop of Winchester. He was born in the kingdom of Wessex and educated in its capital, Winchester. He was famous for charitable gifts and building churches
A legend says that as the Bishop lay on his deathbed, he asked to be buried out of doors, where he would be trodden on and rained on. For nine years, his wishes were followed, but then, the monks of Winchester attempted to remove his remains to a splendid shrine inside the cathedral on 15 July 971. According to legend there was a heavy rain storm either during the ceremony or on its anniversary.
This led to the old wives' tale (folklore) that if it rains on St Swithin's Day (July 15th), it will rain for the next 40 days in succession, and a fine 15th July will be followed by 40 days of fine weather.

Looking up the nave to the altar and East window. I think the modern lighting (1958 Architect: George Pace) fits well with the progression of design through the ages. See, for instance, the medieval rood screen now devoid of the rood itself, and the roof panels dating from 1907 (architect: Edgar Wood)..

Remnants of an old pier at the entrance to St. Peters Bay. Across the bay is Greenwich, where I was photographing the sand dunes.
I love summer in PEI and was fortunate to have the company of my sister while we visiting family and enjoying a week away from Ottawa.

Taken a couple of months ago at St abbs at sunrise. Tried a 60" exposure which turned out quite well and added a grad filter in lightroom. It looks like i have used a grad filter on the rocks to the right of the composition but it is just how high the sea reaches at high tide..
