Fermoy is a small town north of Cork situated on the Blackwater river. I've been there every time I've visited Ireland.
The bridge in the distance is the major bottleneck between Cork and Dublin - until the Fermoy Bypass is completed, all traffic between Cork and Dublin must pass over this bridge. (The bypass is currently several months ahead of schedule, so it may be completed sometime this year.) Backups can stretch for miles in the afternoon. On the other side of the bridge on the right-hand side is the main business district for Fermoy, including a bookstore that doesn't seem to have any books and a chipper (fast-food place) called The Humble Spud that sells good and huge fried fish.
The north shore of the Blackwater.
Ducks!
More ducks in the Blackwater, looking West.
A horse grazing on the opposite shore.
Trees with spooky-looking roots.
