A skateboarder jumps in the air on Grand Parade. He was there with friends, racing up and down the pavement.

Fridays For Future in Cork
I was in town today and came across a Fridays For Future protest on Grand Parade. They’re a group of very passionate young people protesting at the state of our environment. Their aim is to demand that the Irish government take action on climate change and climate injustice in Ireland.
They have an uphill fight, unfortunately. The world is going to zip right past the 1.5ºC average rise in temperature.

The Ferris Wheel through the Crystall Ball
As seen in a previous photo of the Ferris Wheel on the Grand Parade in Cork, the crystall ball that Henry brought along was a very useful prop.
Here we are at the top of the car park looking down on the big wheel. It surrounds the crystal ball, but the wheel itself can be seen upside down in the ball.
Now I’m remembering how cold it was that evening and how I wished I’d brought my gloves. Must get fingerless gloves so I can use the camera.

The Ferris Wheel after Sunset
The Ferris Wheel on Grand Parade in Cork pictured just after sunset, in December 2016. This year the wheel is further up the street so you can’t get this photo now.
I haven’t been in town at sunset this month either but hopefully someone got a nice sunset photo of the wheel this year.

Cork 2005
Older visitors will recognise this poster if they were around Cork in 2005 when the city was “European Capital of Culture”.
This poster was draped over the city library, and I was very lucky to capture a tour bus as it drove past on a fine June day, exactly 17 years ago today.
