The Crowd on Pana

— Photos
Photograph of a large crowd gathered on St. Patrick Street in Cork city centre in June 2006, watching a street performer on stilts (a fire breather) elevated above the crowd. The scene shows hundreds of spectators forming a circle around the performer, with people sitting and standing on the wide pavement. Visible storefronts include the yellow Savoy building with "Quills EST 1939" signage, Dunnes Stores with its green front, and colourful Georgian buildings in yellow, orange, cream and white. A Securicor vehicle and city bus are visible in the background. Dramatic cloudy sky overhead contrasts with sunlight illuminating the crowd. People wear casual summer clothing including a white Nike Air hoodie and FC Barcelona "Ronaldinho" jersey.

A huge crowd gathered around a man on stilts holding 3 flaming torches on St. Patrick Street, Cork in 2006. See how homogeneous the crowd is? A similar photo today would show a much more diverse set of people in modern Ireland.

Edit: Since this caused quite a commotion on Facebook, I just want to make it clear that I think a diverse population made of people from different places is better and healthier than a single homogeneous one.
