In the tower of the 18th century St Anne’s Church in Shandon, hang the Shandon Bells and visitors can try to ring a tune out of them. However, while the tower stands on a hill, getting a decent photograph isn’t always easy as it stands crowded by narrow streets and houses. Normally I would see the salmon weather vane from below, on the Mallow Road or the city centre.
Going on a wander near Collins’ Barracks I was lead to a small green area on a separate hill which gave me the best view of this Cork landmark that I have come across to date. Conditions were not great for taking pictures, but here is a picture converted to black and white of the tower. Fingers crossed the weather will be better next time.
In a previous post, Shandon you can get another view of the tower and environs, while my stumble upon the area is highlighted in Coronation Street in Cork.

Very well captured and a great view of the tower. Even the 2 clock faces we can see are synced in time, guess we can’t call it the 4 faced liar anymore 🙂

Don’t be sorry, just remember that when you do comment it is a treat and I really appreciate it. If I have no interest in something I am wasting my breath in commenting. Hope the week is being good to you, MM 🍀

Great picture, Mick. Only five minutes ago I was attempting to photograph our village church tower, minus the weather cock which blew down this week. Same problem, it’s on a hill. My photo is rubbish.

Some items are meant as challenges I am sure of that. MM 🍀

It looks great in black and white with the houses in front.

Yes, I really liked the vantage point, just down the road from Collins’ Barracks. MM 🍀

In the meantime, the B&W format does justice to the imposing figure of the tower.
