Braving the misty rain and the outside world to bring you brand new photos of north Cork. This is Doneraile Park near Mallow. Well, maybe nearer to Newtwopothouse really but we won’t argue for the sake of a few miles.

Although quite soggy, we had a very pleasant stroll around the grounds. Well, it was quite pleasant after I abandoned all hope of jumping the wall of the house and getting a closer look at the boarded up buildings and mysterious looking courtyards. Although the place had a somewhat pervasive odour of sewage, it was as scenic and as relaxing as I remember from my last visit several years ago. The deer were a nice surprise and unlike the ones in Farran Woods, were quite friendly (once the guy with the bag of bread rolls turned up).

I took the opportunity to get some ‘flowing water’ shots after finding my tripod under a mountain of rubbish in the back of my van. Take one and they become addictive; I’m quite pleased with how some of the weed shots came out. Yeesh, that sentance will have a completely different meaning this time next week :)

But for now, if you only do one thing before tomorrow evening, check out the rest of the set on Flickr.
