[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
This is the John F. Kennedy Park in Cobh(Cove) Ireland.
This park is located at the harbor where so many immigrated to the U.S. and where the Titianic made it's final stop. Queenstown it was for some decades before reverting to its old Irish name in 1922 - the Cobh (cove) of Cork. From here hundreds of thousands of mostly hungry and penniless Irish men and women left for America to build a new life, especially in the Famine years of 1844-48. Cobh, Cork was the last port of call of RMS Titanic which anchored at the mouth of the harbour on April 11th 1912. It was from here that the ship weighed anchor for the last time and sailed west towards her tragic fate in the icy waters of the North Atlantic.

I like superb sharpness and composition here. Soft colors are nice, too. Looks like slight tilt to the right. Interesting note - thanks! Cheers - Vilius

Hi Asa,
Beautiful garden or square, very nicely captured. I don't say anything about the centered pov, as here it is very well chosen.
The sharpness is amazing.
TFS, Regards, Jose

Hi Asa,
Beautiful urban park with a stunning gazebo. It looks like the British left their cannon. Your note is full of history as well as touching. My mother's parents must of sailed from here around the turn of the century. My father was from Cavan and he sailed from Derry on Loch Foyle. Until recently only the oldest son would inherit the farm and the rest of the children would leave for England, America, or Australia.
