This postcard arrived today ... June 17th 2007. Thank you, Jean-Luc (Capt. Picard) for continuing to think of me and my Postcard Exchange. Jean-Luc has just returned to England, after doing a bit of travelling. This postcard is from Cobh, Co. Cork ... Situated in Cork harbour and only 24 kms from the city of Cork. The magnificent St. Colman's Cathedral which dominates the scene is the glory of the Diocese of Cloyne and is constructed in the French Gothic style. It has an impressive exteror of blue Dalkey granite. The cathedral has a carillon of forty seven bells, one of the largest in these islands.

Glad you like it. This was the first stop on my cruise to Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Holland and Belgium.
i got this one too! and it reminded me that my mom and sister and i stopped in there on our way to Canada via England. (way way back in 1961 - i had forgotten until i saw the postcard...funny what things triggers one's memory, eh?
Jean-luc ... thank you, it was great to receive the card. And I'm glad your cruise went well ... must have been wonderful.
Dragonflyfilly ... how nice that you got the same one ... snap !!
It looks like a great place. So, are you not originally from Canada ?
Take care, Meow
nope, i was born in SA (S.Africa), came to Canada when i was about 11 years old....but...
"i am Canadian" [and as i often say, i should be getting royalties for that phrase, which i coined in about 1970! (hah hah!)]
Wow, born in South Africa ... that would have been an amazing place to live.
