Two gents pictured on Winthrop Street Cork several weeks ago.

Dancing in the street All by himself, but he was enjoying the band that were playing a few feet away!

Another sale Another sale made at the market during the St Patrick’s Festival in Cork!

A Crowd Pleaser More mono cycle madness on St. Patrick Street! This is near the end of his act. The crowd really enjoyed his show! Shot during the St. Patrick’s Festival 2006 in Cork.

Fun on a monocycle A street performer climbs onto his monocycle during the St Patrick’s Festival 2006. I love the second picture here. It shows just how crazy he was as he got the crowd cheering and enthusing about his act.

Small Figures Small figures run for cover to get out of the downpour. You’ll be glad to hear that this is the last of my shots from this square for the time being! Pictures of the day: mute, Eric, Iced Coffee, nowords, Gareth Marlow, Learning to see, Mystery Me

Not happy in the rain Moments after my previous shot another group ran for cover from the downpour! Definitely not “singing in the rain” this morning!
