Fitzgerald Park tree sculpture in Cork

Taken with my older cameraphone (a Sanyo S750) in the summer on a visit to Fitzgerald Park in Cork, Ireland.

Its an old tree that has been converted to sculpture with reflective squares on it :-)

some more nice photos of it www.flickr.com/photos/44741835@N00/309753985/, here again from Emacs, here from docaoimh, flickr.com/photos/vee_noax/246807340/, here in B&W by Slipping away, here by johnew, here by scottjonsiegel, here by Kindle , and here again by Kindle.

From here :- Fitzgerald Park is a beautiful area of over 18 acres which has been greatly improved in recent years and which includes a fine display of flowers in both formal bedding and informal arrangements, together with a decorative pond with aquatic plants and a Children's Playground. Within the Park is housed the Cork Museum. This Park, ideally situated alongside the river overlooked by the hills of Sunday's Well, was the site of the Cork International Exhibition of 1902/03. It is entered from the Mardyke, a tree-lined promenade nearly a mile long at the Western side of the City, which gives access also to the Cork Cricket Club Grounds, the Sunday's Well Boating and Tennis Club, and the University College Football and Athletic Grounds. It was formed in 1720 by Mr. Edward Webber then Town Clerk of Cork.

There's a nice pdf brochure avaliable on the trees in the park too :-)
