This is the view from my flat in Cork, out across the Lee river and the valley. The photo shows the early morning sun shining through the spires of St Finbarrs Cathedral. It was taken at 8.30am on 21 January 2011. As you can see it's getting bright earlier in the mornings. The winter is behind us - at last. It was one of coldest and rudest winters for a long time. We had lots of snow and ice - I'll put up a few pictures to prove it.
