What Enters the River?

A rusted metal pipe projects through dense green vegetation above the dark, narrow Triogue River in Port Laoise.

Above the Triogue in Port Laoise, a rusting pipe emerges from the undergrowth.

The river below is almost hidden beneath the green, easy to pass without noticing. The pipe is harder to ignore once you see it.

Where does it come from? What was it built for? Is it still used?

Paying attention sometimes produces beauty.

Sometimes it produces questions.
