Two or three times a year I make a visit to Cork.<\/p>\n

Among the subjects I photograph are Irish Rail\u2019s Cork area suburban trains.<\/p>\n

The scenery is pleasant and over the years I\u2019ve made many interesting images of the trains.<\/p>\n

These are recent views made over St. Patrick\u2019s Day weekend (2017).<\/p>\n
