    The Ard Ri Hotel would have been a great site to be done!

    It's class, had a stroll around earlier and for a look took a few pics. Congrats to the organisers, hopefully they can build on this years event and keep it going into the future.

    Are the walls staying as they are until such a time as the buildings have a new purpose?

    The RTE news report said the painted walls will be staying until the buildings will be used.

    Went for look at the Waterford walls today, absolutely fantastic, would recommend everyone does it, doesnt take long to see most of em, really impressive at DLS centre, stephen st, cathedral sq, peter st, john st....deadly stuff, fair play to all involved, would be fantastic if some of em stayed like that or this became a yearly thing.

    As you come up from Johns Street, to Barrack Street, where the Oscar Wilde quote is I couldn't help but think that it would look even better if they had a Characters of Waterford present & past on the wall there.

    The Tawdy's/Howdo's of this World. Maybe it's inappropriate, I don't know, but would class.

    Up near Aldi.

    Jesus this adds some nice colour to the city. One thing about Waterford in comparison to the likes of Cork, Kilkenny and Galway is that there is not enough colour on the buildings. People paint them ultra conservative plain colours and it gives the city a very dull appearance. Lash out the bright stuff I say and see the difference.

    The Waterford Walls website has a map of where each painting is located. It's a nice stroll around town and you get to see the artists at work. They're chatting away to people, standings in with people for pics too. Even the weather is playing ball.

    Hats off to the council for letting them do this. All of the paintings/graffiti are amazing to look at and seeing them come to life is great to see.

    There are ones still around from last year. I don't know how many, but I think all the ones I pass on a near daily basis hung around.

    But have they deteriorated badly or do they still look fairly decent?

    That's good. Imagine after 4/5 years of this festival, how colourful the city will be. It will be like Marseille only clean, not smelly, not destroyed with terrible graffiti and actually nice!

    This is just one of a series of elephant paintings on a wall off Ballybricken. I think it's Barker Street? The detail in them was amazing.

    I think we all think its amazing, its ran on an absolute shoe string so they could do with some donations on their web page, small few quid go a long way to make city walls well cool.great for the city, great national exposure and is just awesome and well worth us investing a few quid in our own city, something we can all do easily without having to do the hard work organising this etc etc

    Yeah, I didn't know what the light was when I caught a glimpse of it going into town early this morning - looked freaky. If they light it up once it's done though, it will really look cool.
