The Curious Crow of Bishop Lucey Park

A curious crow watches me, possibly waiting for me to drop some food for him. Bishop Lucey Park several years ago in 2021.

A mirror of a mural

A black and white photograph depicting Bishop Lucey Park. A large mural on the side of a building features a man in a suit, appearing to be painting or working on something. In front of the mural, a person is elevated on a platform, possibly working on the mural itself. The scene includes an arched stone gate with ornate ironwork. Two people are visible: one leaning against a railing and another standing nearby. The setting appears urban, with steps leading up to the area where the people are located.

What caught my eye when I saw this in front of me in Bishop Lucey Park, was the man leaning against the railing seemed to mirror the pose of the figure in the large mural on the wall.

The park itself is closed off now. This is a picture of a bygone era. Can’t wait to see the new layout of the park!

Hey! What’s that?

I have no idea what was so interesting. On a bench in Bishop Lucey Park in 2019.

Pigeons take flight

I heard him say, “sorry”, when his dog barked and scared all the pigeons, but he did me a favour. The pigeons in Bishop Lucey Park weren’t doing much!

Met him eating mushrooms

Two men lean against a wall while one checks his phone and the other looks on. A poster on railings behind them is partially seen and says "Cork Cycli.. Fes..." Street furniture is painted with the text "MET HIM EATING MUSH ROOMS IN THE PEOPLE'S PARK" and the other has a figure pointing at their own head with a mic on a stand.

Bishop Lucey Park in Cork is now a building site, but on this July day in 2023 it was just a quiet day in the city, with some cyclists, obviously.

A man and a blank mural

An elderly man sits on a bench in Bishop Lucey Park. The wall behind him is normally a mural but in July 2019, the wall was mostly blank.

In contrast to the photo yesterday of the same bench in 2015 when a mural appeared on the wall, this photo from July 2019 features a blank wall.

An elderly man, with his walker sits on the same bench. I hope he made it through the COVID pandemic.

Surrounded by the sights of Cork

Flowers and icons of Cork are painted on a wall in Bishop Lucey Park behind a man checking his phone on a bench.

I wonder if this man checking his phone noticed the mural behind him in Bishop Lucey Park. In this fragment of the mural you can see the old Roches Stores building, Mangan’s Clock and Shandon Bells.

You won’t see that mural there now. This is a snapshot of it from 2015.

The Lady And Her Dog

This large wall in Bishop Lucey Park has featured a huge mural on it for several years now. This is the wall as it was in June 2021, but the mural has been changed since then.
