I'm amazed, that some readers want to read my journal so badly, that they will go in to trouble of using Google translate to read entries in Russian. As acknowledgment of my respect for you, I will start translating or rather re-telling, some entries in English.
Cork
How to show Cork only in few days? What to see in Cork?
Указатели в Корке
I have lived in Cork or thereabouts for over ten years. Many places for me are not just what they are, but they used to be, the way I remember them. That is why I chose to show “my places” in Cork, there was also some obligatory book shopping that we had to do.
Rainbow over Lee
We started from city centre, in fact the oldest part of it. City of Cork was always an important trade centre and up until 1850 Patrick Street was a channel, where boats would be coming straight from river Lee and Cork harbour. The main streets of Cork were North Main Street and South Main Street, each ending with a bridge and a gate. Gate Cineplex at the end of North Main Street is named after the north gate. On the south end of South Main Street the Gateway Bar commemorates southern gates in to the city and got nothing to do with black and white spotted cows – they used to congregate around Dublin. Gateway Bar opened in year 1698, at least that is what the stone plaque on the wall says.
I do remember, when in 1996-97, North Main Street was all dug-up and renovated; every day next to builders was working an archaeologist.

f8, 1/200, ISO250, 300mm
Помимо домашней живности вокруг фермы полно всякой твари разной степени одомашненности. Утром в выходной я проснулся от того что за окном раздавались крики. По голосу это напоминало слегка придушенного петуха. Крик ещё раз повторился прямо под окном.
Я аккуратно выглянул сквозь сетку - прямо напротив окна в кустах копался крупный фазан. Я встречал его и раньше - несколько раз по утрам, по дороге на работу. И один раз даже видел курочку - они вдвоем гуляли по краю поля и при виде меня скрылись во ржи.
Я быстро поменял объектив на самый длинный что у меня есть (100-300мм Tamron) и отодвинул сетку. Фазан увидел движени и сначала на секунду замер (нижний снимок) а потом куриной рысцой рванул вдоль кустов прямо напротив окна. Именно тут я сделал верхний снимок, когда фазан был виден во всей красе.

А кричит он похоже на подавившегося чем-то петуха.
