I was there too
A “NO BICYCLE PARKING” sign in the window of a tax consultants, warns young people they shouldn’t lock their bikes to the railing outside.
Actually understandable, as there’s a school next door..

The Eiffel Tower garden is thronged with people watching the sun set behind the massive structure. The sky was clear and it was a hot night. People were sitting in almost every available space waiting for the light show that made the Tower sparkle on the hour.

This footbridge was built in the 80s and is an indispensable connection between Grand Parade and Sullivan’s Quay in Cork.
Seeing the trees in this photo reminded me that there aren’t many trees in the City Centre any more. 🙁

A few photos from the 2023 Cork Pride “party at the port” on Kennedy Quay. There was a huge crowd there, with people coming and going all the time. A band played the hits, followed by a few words from the Lord Mayor of Cork, and then the drag queens came out to entertain the ecstatic crowd!
The atmosphere there was electric, with plenty of happy faces as people enjoyed the music and the good weather.

A mural on the side of a building on North Main Street is called “What is home” and features a person wearing an Amazon box, as that’s the only accommodation they can find.
In this photo the figure is looking sideways to the visible window on the front of the building, as if asking, “why can’t I find somewhere to live?”

I’ve posted photos of the Kyle Street mural before, but here’s another one. A man looked up at what I was photographing as he walked past, and I couldn’t resist taking a photo!

3 doors, all different colours. I love it! Modern housing is so boring.
