Coffee at the Dock

Another coffee shop - just what we need around The Liberties, which seems to be full-to-bursting with cafes and charity shops these days.  But I'll allow this one, saying as it's not in the town but on the banks of the River Bann, about a mile or so upstream from Coleraine.  There's a pleasant riverside walk where you can see herons and cormorants and even a kingfisher or two if you are lucky and then you have this, where on a good day you can sit outside and remind yourself it's not a bad wee place at times:

We had to wipe the seats before sitting, as there had been a heavy shower minutes earlier.  But the rain departed and it was really rather pleasant. OM4ti with 24mm Zuiko, on HP5+, HC-110 and Ilford Classic fibre paper.  The sky got a light burn-in under the enlarger, just to bring out those lovely clouds.

  1. It looks like a very relaxing place. Is the boat useable?

    1. It was pretty relaxing, Marcus. The boat, I think, is just used as an advertising prop, although it looks in good shape. There is a slipway not far away if anyone wanted to try it ;)
