Lee, First Light captures the River Lee just as the sun broke the horizon on a still September morning, looking east from the heart of Cork towards the harbour.
From above, the water is glass-calm, catching the warm glow of sunrise and holding perfect reflections of the city’s bridges, from the Mary Elmes footbridge in the foreground to the Brian Boru Bridge beyond, while the quays slowly come to life on either side.
Cork has always been shaped by its river and has always looked to the sea. Lee, First Light is a quiet, timeless portrait of the city in the calm moments before the day begins.
