  1. It has to look so precarious leaning over a gunwale with camera few centimetres from the water surface.
    Nice angle for floating birds though.

  3. Street Fishing in Treviso, Italy: Exploring the Canals of ‘Little Venice’

    My chest-high fishing waders and rubber boots clashed sharply with the smartly dressed people on the elegant streets…

  4. Need a peaceful retreat away from major Dutch crowds? #Heerhugowaard offers a brilliant mix of green spaces and modern design. A morning walk around the local #lakes or a coffee by the #canals gives you a fresh perspective on the #Netherlands. It is incredibly walkable and built for slow living. Ideal if you prefer nature over packed museums.

  13. The Venice of the North Rises Again

  18. The Venice of the North Rises Again

    Well, I have to hand it to Cork City Council. After years of roadworks, diversions, temporary traffic lights, and that perpetual stretch of Patrick Street that looked like a minor archaeological dig, they’ve finally revealed the masterplan and it’s magnificent. They’ve ripped out the tarmac entirely and restored the old channels of the River Lee that ran beneath the city centre for the past 240 years. St. Patrick Street is now navigable by motorboat, and Washington Street has a functioning canal service complete with what appears to be a narrowboat called the Oriel running a shuttle to the courthouse.

    Parking signs have been replaced by mooring cleats. The 220 bus route now terminates at a floating pontoon outside Penneys. I’m told that Eason’s is doing a roaring trade in waterproof editions, and a new Dublin Bikes-style scheme called “Cork Canoes” launches next week, but knowing the council, the docking stations won’t be ready for another while yet.

    In fairness, they’ve finally earned the title. Cork: the Venice of the North. Truly, the real capital at last.

    Happy April Fools’ Day. These images were obviously generated using AI. Cork City Council has not, to my knowledge, flooded the city, but after some winters, nature has a good go at it herself.
