Hi Andrea, yes Cork is a wonderful city for bridges and I think Joan has captured tham really well.
Tis’ great!
Glad you enjoyed the post, Willow. Thanks for writing.
Thank you so much for re-blogging.
You’re more than welcome, Joan. It’s a lovely post and the bridge photos are absolutely captivating.
