The Lone Guitar
A street entertainer plays his guitar on Oliver Plunkett Street, Cork last month during the WW photowalk on the 18th. I have the winners of the hotel rooms for next month’s photowalk. I picked them with the help of Alexa, Laughing Lion and Andrea who picked the first distinct numbers between 1 and 5. Thanks also to Laura, Elliot (might need rounding up?), Ron and Dena who also responded. And, the winners are (cue drum roll, etc): 1. Pa Dineen 2. Kevin 3. Rudy I better get on to Damien or Pat and tell them. They’ll probably have to get in touch with the winners next week!

Sometimes I just miss talking to you
Sometimes I just miss talking to you A sticker on the back of a STOP sign reads, “Sometimes I just miss talking to you” and is signed “The 508”. A message of love for someone missing, or mindless graffiti? What makes the image for me is the couple walking by at the bottom of the frame. The sticker could be a speech bubble above their heads. Shot on Oliver Plunkett Street a few month’s back while walking around Cork City. PS. Welcome all from Creative Ireland!
