The Bike at the Library

Cork City Library on the Grand Parade used to have railings in front for locking up your bike. Those railings disappeared a few months ago but people still leave their bikes there.

The library itself will soon be the subject of a major facelift as a developer expands it into a new block of retail units and apartments as well as library.

    Great shot. The hint of desaturated red on the bike is a nice touch. And I really like how the circular wheels of the bike contrast all of the straight edges of the building.
