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?”

Looking for fish

A man looks up at a large mural on a wall. Only part of it is visible but it's a person fishing on a river, with woods and buildings on the far bank.

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!

Mauve, green, and red

Never a phone when you want one…

A long exposure photo at night. Light trails from passing vehicles in the background while in front are 3 phone boxes and traffic lights showing red and amber lights.

I guess if you’re in London you probably won’t have much trouble finding a public phone. A group of them stood here, wherever it is. Empty and alone.
Meanwhile, traffic passes in the background, casting eerie light trails through the photo.

A Unicycle on Patrick’s Street

A man gets on a very tall unicycle with the help of a ladder and a passer by, watched by a crowd all around him.

April 18th, 2006 when the St. Patrick’s Festival was still a new thing and street entertainers entertained the population.

He was good on that unicycle. Didn’t fall at all.

The McCurtain Street Building Site

Today was Robert’s funeral, so here’s a street photo he would like. It’s got layers, it’s got people, it’s got a changing city, from the old to the new.

Robert, you will be missed.
