Cork Landmarks
In this one single image are pictured several landmark buildings in Cork City:
1. The bell tower of St. Anne's Church, or Shandon Bells as it's commonly known as. 2. The North Cathedral can be glimpsed in the background. 3. Part of SS Peter & Paul's Church off Patrick Street in the foreground, and the distinctive red brick buildings on Paul Street that used to belong to that parish. (I think it was sold? I remember seeing a sign for a solicitor on one door!) 4. The large distinctive roof to the left of Shandon Bells is I believe the roof of the Firkin Crane Centre by the old Butter Market. Is it? The day I shot this was gloomy and overcast. Thick black clouds covered the city but for a few minutes a small part was bathed in light from a sun peaking through a gap in the clouds. This was shot from the roof of the car park on the Grand Parade. Oh yes, I'm toying with the idea of watermarking my images. I hate seeing an image destroyed by a name written over the actual image. A false bottom border and my details there might be a good compromise. It's simple to remove but it's one more step for a thief to take. What do you think? CommentsDonncha @ InPhotos.org

Great shot Donncha!
3. I believe was also used as a place where Orphans could find out about where they came from I believe. I'm sure there is a better way of phrasing that.
Instead of watermarking you images just change the setting so people cant look at or dowload the larger sizes. I'm not a big fan of watermarking myself. Then again watermarking is just like an artist siging their painting!
Anyway Great shot, good work!
