Steep Street

Cobh, in Ireland, has a few very steep streets. They call these houses the Painted Ladies.

Oh, I love them so much....I want to live in the turquoise one!

[Beth]

These painted ladies are all made just a like and yet each of them has their own individual personality. Such a cool shot Fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Fun color- I never think of Ireland as having such "modern" colors- I'm always thinking of old wood and stones! Good shot!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I love the patterns, colors and shapes.

[Kathy]

I like the repetition of shapes and the colors.

[PhotoCrazy]

Love the colors!!

[Babs]

Love the coloured houses, but wouldn't fancy living on that street. My legs and knees wouldn't cope with the climb.

[Danette Thompson]

Beautiful street!

Fabulous, first went to this wonderful place in 1965 - 1966 when I was a seaman in the Merchant Navy... Been back many times, there's a pub at the top of the hill called the Roaring Donkey, in 66 it used to be a little terraced house but now its a lot bigger, had some great nights in this pub.

[Taffy]

What fun -- totally wonky to fit the colorful buildings and hilly street.
