Well this image is definitely out of Africa as it was taken in the backstreets of Cork City on a wet friday afternoon.
How could one not be drawn to this bright, but fallen, scene and the creative use of the old picture frames to create a mock window. For me there is so much in this picture and yet I dare say many will just see a neglected, abandoned store front.
Let me know your thoughts and enjoy your day.

On the right there is a inscription in Russian that in a free translations sounds like: I wish you to have a good mood during the whole day…

Tofan, good spot and I find it very interesting – I assume these are the words above the smiley face one can see? Thanks for the feedback, you have certainly added to the image for me anyway. A good demonstration of how more multi-cultural Ireland has become compared to just 10 or 15 years ago. MM 👍

I looked at the image before I read the writing and totally missed the frame for the colors, the graffiti, the signage, and the red door! Nice shot!

Reality check happening here. I have issues with graffiti, and believed until now it was only a US behavior. Your photo is striking and beautiful; and add to that, informative.

I too have issues with graffiti, but here in an area set up for the artwork and not just deranged tagging I can appreciate it. On buses, people’s houses, businesses, trains etc…..I am with you…MM 🍀

It’s beautiful, MM – even the fire hydrant is just the right splash of yellow.

I was too busy looking at the parking sign that the hydrant sign never jumped out at me – as it blends in so well. Thanks for the comments and hope the week is going well, MM 🍀
