The Lough

The Lough in Cork is one of the most popular places for locals to visit - they come here to relax, have fun or take a stroll. It's one of my favourite spots in the city. Every morning and afternoon during the year I lived there, I passed The Lough on my way to work or home. I always took my camera with me because of my job, so I could immortalise this beautiful image: sunset over The Lough. I had never seen such intense pinks and purples in the sky. It's amazing to see how the sky becomes a canvas.

The "Corkonians" engage in plenty of pastimes here. Some early birds come to fish, bringing all their belongings, even tents.
