Youghal Pub #1

Mural on the wall of Moby Dick's pub in Youghal harbour, County Cork, Ireland

The story behind this image

Staying for a few day on the southwest coast of Ireland at Youghal, County Cork, my wife Liz and I took the opportunity to stroll around this somewhat unusual seaside town.

It transpired that part of Youghal's claim to fame was that some scenes the 1954 film 'Moby Dick' were filmed in and around Youghal.

This fact is celebrated in fine style by Moby Dick's pub on the waterfront at Youghal harbour, boasting this impressive mural covering the whole end wall of the building.

A bit of careful composition and cropping resulted in the exclusion of the wheelie bins just underneath the artwork.
