Some great Graffiti & Street Art (plus 'hybrid' stuff) here. Love the Ming the Merciless piece (congratulations on getting returned to Europe, Ming! Lol!) and that 'Crac'(??) Piece (the 'Nate' one with the cowboy) and most - all of 'em, really. I've been gone from Cork over 30 years, only been back for the odd family occasion, and I do miss the place 'terrible, like...' Of course, if I ever moved back, after 5 minutes I'd probably be like, "God, you can't move in this town but for 'langers', no wonder I left!" The mural on the sub~station was 'grand', I expect it was sponsored by some eaterie or coffee shop, but 'Huguenot Quarter'?! 😖🤮 Huguenots?! Yerra Yeah, Boy! You can't move for all the f%&king Huguenots either! "We haven't room for our own!" 😉 Lol! Seriously though, what is it with these 'Yup~Ster' types and their 'rabee' for calling everywhere the _'this_ Quarter', or the _'that_ Quarter'?! When I was a boy, we had The Northside, The Southside, and The Marsh... There was no 'Quarters'... What's going to be next? How 'bout "The Needle Quarter"?🤨😉

[@TonightWithKev]

Ah you’d last more than 5 minutes surely Richie. We could dedicate one of the quarters to you upon your gallant return 😉

​@@TonightWithKev There's a place in The Glen, Rathmore Road, if I remember right? Naw, I'm joking of course. They wouldn't have me. They'd be afraid of me taking over! By pure co~incidence ["There are no co~incidences!" - The Algorithm], I watched one of your videos there a while back, of night falling on the docks. I was giving out about the 'quarter' thing there, too! (Obsessed much?!) "No Quarter given or asked for!" I say. Anyway, I never made the connection until I watched it again after the Art video. Lovely piece of work, great photography; very atmospheric. What really topped it off though was the original music. A man of many talents, it looks like! I got kinda the same feeling seeing the R&H Hall Silo kind of brooding there for the last time before they knocked it as I did watching the old Classic Cinema falling under the ball & chain one night, back in the very early '90's. Progress, I suppose... Something, anyway. I know most people won't miss those grain (feed?) elevators, but having grown up with them, I will; and as industrial architecture goes, it actually wasn't a bad example. Let's hope those new luxury flats ('a - _porrt_ - ments'?) going in there will be a worthy successor. If nothing else, it's housing, anyway. Sorry, if I'm gonna be waffling on about the old docks, that video would have been the proper place for it. Getting back to this one, in my original comment there was a few works I overlooked, although to be fair, if I was to note everything I liked, it'd be more like a case of "OK, what don't you like?!" But I was kind of taken by those abstract geometric pieces at 0:38 & 2:46; and again, the graffiti (I like graffiti! Like the Silo, loved by few, hated by many! Clearly though, pretty well all of the ones in here are permission pieces) -- The metallic style 'TGB' one, and those mental looking ones with the rats and the vampires, and the cops, and the robbers! (Guy ought to go into comics!) Last word (of many! 😔) -- some lovely (like the young 'uns say - 'Sicc!') drone work here, just like in the other video.
