Sullivan's Quay, Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, the South Gate Bridge are all reflected along with the cloudy sky in the River Lee. Happy Friday.
Thanks as always to everyone who stops by to view, fave, and comment on my photos - it is much appreciated.
My sister made this cork board for me. It is enclosed in an old picture frame and looks beautiful. I obviously was more than willing to help with contributing the corks from drinking wine.

- When I was a schoolboy of about 15 years, I earned some money with vacation jobs. One of those was at a wine bottling company (Siebrand in the city of Kampen) where I had to remove all the wine corks from the empty returned bottles.
These bottles origined from many different factories, and many corks had an attractive appearance. I did collect a few hundred of those, and I did keep them for almost 60 years now. Why? Probably hoping once I will make a fortune by selling them to a 'wine cork collectioner' (do those exist ?).

- Olifant jenever (gin)
In 1841 a family named Melchers started a jenever factory in the very heart of Dutch jenever production: Schiedam.
They exported their jenever to Dutch colonies in West and South Africa. To distinguish their product from other jenevers they did chose a logo that would be easy to recognise in that continent: an Elephant !
The finest quality Irish whisky Jamson.
A true Irishman has two loves,
Irish Whisky Jamson & Guinness.
Whether a champagne cork or a cork floor.
The cork oak provides the raw material, and in Portugal it has given us some shade in the midday hours.
The Cork stone is one of a number of impressive natural outcrops on Stanton moor. Composed of weathered sandstone it resembles a huge mushroom or a cork. As with the Andle stone nearby it is covered in graffiti from the 19th and 20th centuries and has steps carved into the side to allow access to the top.
Another photo from the Cork Forest in the National Arboretum in Canberra. Fog not as thick as I would like but nevertheless some good early morning sun shining through the trees and down the path.
Vignettes of Cork. The no. 5 ballon caught my eye as i was walking, so i felt compelled to try and make a frame.
Once the eye sees the primary subject I was then enjoyed how the double yellow line continues around the corner and leads the viewer on a journey out of the scene (but perhaps that just me 😊)
The River Lee in Cork Ireland was one of my favorite places to photograph city reflections. I have posted several from Cork in the past - here is another one with some colorful buildings.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment!!

A curious combination of cork stoppers with wires. Maybe art is nothing more than the search for beauty.
A cork stuck in an open space in the brick wall of an Italian restaurant in Albany. Not the only one.
