A mirror of a mural
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!

HNLMS Dolfijn Visits Cork
In 2003, the Dutch submarine, Dolfijn, or Dulfun, visited Cork for a few days. I happened to be around town and spotted it from Kennedy Quay where I’d been photographing the ships, buildings and machinery.
When it left Cork, it headed to Mallorca. September in Cork is nice, but I wouldn’t mind a few days there in October!

Winthrop Street Dug Up
In early 2005, Winthrop Street was dug up and repaved. I really don’t like the modern surface. Part of it feels slippery, and the middle section is uncomfortable to walk on. Anyone else?

A Busker in February
On a quiet February day in 2019 I walked down Winthrop Street and saw this busker strumming his guitar.

A view from the tram
A few photos of a few seconds as the tram drove past a crowd of people waiting for another tram in Lisbon.
Some people stand still, some are animated.

A dog walk in Lisbon
A woman walks her dog in Lisbon. She stopped outside Centro Social Laura Alves.

Doggy had their hair done
It’s lovely to see well cared for dogs. Shih tzus need so much grooming or their fur gets in their eyes, but this one had a nice bow, and happily walked along a street in Madrid.

The trees and the statue
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 model of Plac Matejki
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.
