River Lee running through the Quay in Cork city
River Lee (Irish: An Laoi) is a river in Ireland. It rises in the Shehy Mountains on the western border of County Cork and flows eastwards through Cork, where it splits in two for a short distance, creating an island on which Corks city centre is built, and empties into the Celtic Sea at Cork Harbour on the south coast, one of the largest natural harbours in the world

This print captures the timeless beauty of the River Lee as it gracefully meanders through the Quay in Cork city, Ireland. The River Lee, known as An Laoi in Irish, originates from the majestic Shehy Mountains on County Cork's western border. As it flows eastwards, it briefly splits into two branches, forming an enchanting island upon which Cork's vibrant city centre is built. The photograph showcases a landscape filled with tranquility and nostalgia. A solitary vessel peacefully glides along the river's calm waters, evoking a sense of serenity and contemplation. The black and white format adds to its allure by emphasizing contrasts and textures that bring out every intricate detail. Cork Harbour awaits at the end of this picturesque journey where the River Lee empties into the Celtic Sea. This natural harbor is renowned for its immense size and has played a significant role in shaping Ireland's maritime history. Dating back to September 1913, this archival image offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when transportation relied heavily on waterways for trade and commerce. It serves as a reminder of how rivers like the Lee were vital lifelines connecting communities across Europe. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse by Getty Images, we are transported to another time - one where nature's beauty intertwines seamlessly with human innovation and ingenuity.
