The source of inspiration

A sticker on a poll shows a banana, a black and white design and the phrase, "... AND PROTECT US ALL FROM THE WIKDEDNESS OF THE LACK OF INSPIRATION"

Sometimes it’s the simple things that inspire us, like a banana. And a yellow roadside bollard in the distance.

A blue door and textures

A blue door in a dilapidated building in need of repair. Masonry is crumbling and a nearby window has seen better days.

A blue door spotted on my travels around Cork. The building is in need of repair, like many in Cork. That wall and window have definitely seen better days.

A mural on Tucky Street

A brightly coloured mural showing a man running, a woman reading and Shandon Bells. A light is visible and a pub sign for Murphy's Stout

Behind a closed gate, you’ll find a lovely mural on a wall in Tucky Street. Look more closely at the pillars beneath it, and you’ll see they belonged to the library a long time ago!

No bikes for the rich

In the window of a tax consultants office, who say they are "wealth advisers", there's a sign saying "No bicycle". The word "parking" is intentionally left out.

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.

Across the Nano Nagle Bridge

A footbridge called Nano Nagle Bridge crosses the River Lee. The river runs underneath in this photo. Trees are visible on the right. Buildings all around.

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. 🙁

Cork Pride Party at the Port 2023

A large crowd gathered to enjoy the after-parade party at Cork Pride 2023. A stage can be seen in the background.

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.

The cat at the window

I was wandering around town when I spotted a cat jump up on a window sill, sit down and then stare at me. Probably wondering if I had treats for them. 🙂

Looking for a room

A mural on the side of a building shows a person with an Amazon box over their head. An eye looks sideways out of the box, looking at the window on the left of the photo.

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?”
