I was there too
Figueres, in Catalonia, Spain is where Salvador Dali was born in 1904. You’ll find the Dalí Theatre and Museum in the town and some of his statues scattered around the place. Here’s one that’s fairly close to the museum. It’s quite a surreal piece, and it was quite a sight to see it out in public.

This is the weather vane at the top of the tower on the Cork District Court. It used to be a school, An Módh Scoil, or Model School, where I attended in the eighties.
I’d never seen this weather vane up close and level like this before until a few days ago when I made this photo. From my memory, there’s a doorway to the tower near the main entrance to the building. I’ve never been up there but I was always curious about it.
They’ve done an amazing job of preserving this building. It didn’t looks quite as good when it was simply a primary school!

When you’re stuck for time state the obvious. Yellow piping found on a back road beyond Crosshaven in Co Cork 9 days ago. That pink bike at the end of the frame was a nice bonus. Hadn’t noticed that when I took the photo!
Pancakes have been cooked, flipped and eaten by all and we’re heading out to see that Barcelona film that I can’t remember the name of in the Kino in Cork. Babysitter is here, Adam is tucked up in bed, time to run out the door.

Pretty yellow flowers bloom in late April in the grounds of the Westlodge Hotel we stayed in while on holiday in Bantry. Spring was late coming to these gardens so it was nice to see a splash of colour!

A DHL van near Paul Street, Cork provided me with a nice excuse to try out the urban acid plugin again! This has been sitting on my computer for almost 2 years but I only recently worked on it. Glad I did too. Love that red streak coming out of the shadows!

We walked around The Lough and wandered over to the daffodils growing by the footpath at one of the lake. That’s Sean Murphy in the background as he preps some of his equipment to take a shot.
Probably my last photo from the Lough Photowalk!
