I was there too
Near the Forty Foot in Dún Laoghaire is a statue with religious carvings on it. For once, Google Maps wasn’t too helpful about what the statue was called.
Hopefully, someone from the area will see this and let me know what it’s called.
Edit: Thanks Oisin, the statue is called Stele.

A tiny model of Plac Matejki sits at one end of this elegant street in Krakow. In the distance is St. Florian’s Church. Taking a photo of the model is difficult enough, and of course, I didn’t have a macro lens, but I was happy with how it came out.
In the centre sits the Grunwald Monument.

A starling perched on a railing in the seaside town of Dún Laoghaire watches the goings-on in the nearby café. Pickings will be slim today as the establishment is being renovated and is not serving customers today!

After the Pro Palestinian march walked past and down Oliver Plunkett Street in Cork. There is so much anger at what the Israeli army is doing in Gaza.
How can anyone in their right mind support Netanyahu and his Government after all they’ve done? Hamas are terrorists, but Israel bombing cities and homes and hospitals to rubble and killing tens of thousands of people is not going to address their problems. They’re just laying the groundwork for a perpetual war that will never end.

The hoarding surrounding Bishop Lucey Park in Cork fits in with the construction site that is South Main Street currently. You’d have to wonder why did they bother putting up hoarding at all? All along the street, they’re working on it and even down Tuckey Street too.

The Spodek is an arena in the city of Katowice, Poland. Several weeks ago, the band Korn played to a packed out audience, and a few days later I returned to photograph it and the passing traffic.

In Warsaw, there’s a striking mural of Polish athletes, and the first I saw of it was when this man was walking towards a stairs leading down to the open area in front of it.
The mural is sponsored by Adidas and created by Jakub Podlodowski. He has written about it on his Facebook page here.
