A photo of Big Jim Larkin on O’Connell Street. When I noticed the juxtaposition of the Clery’s sale sign and the poster of the woman, together with the statue of Ireland’s great socialist, I went in search of the angle to take the photo that’s crying out for a caption. The great appear great because [...]
Dublin. A photo.
I’m not mad on these newer style of cobblestone. Maybe it’s their relative newness but they’re a bit fake looking of edge, and kinda funky looking of colour. Having said that, squares, patterns, shapes, lines, and iteration, I could look at all day.

Another Dublin photo. This one is of that door on Middle Abbey Street, right by where my old bus terminus used to be, across the road from where the Aldelphi used to be, and the old Lighthouse come to think of. See what recession’s do, they get you thinking of Dublin in the rare ould [...]

All of which reminds me that I still have an [...]
-Excuse me Mister?
-D’ya need a hand?
-Could ya get me bike outta there? I’m tryin’ to get this fella out

Probably because I like walking alongside high lonely walls. Usually there were very few people despite the presence of [...]
Liberty Hall doesn’t bother me quite as much as some of Dublin’s other monstrosities of its era - specifically Hawkins House and O’Connell Bridge House - and it does at least nod towards Busáras, but I’m certainly ready for a new incarnation.
I took this photo while standing on Tara Street (minding my own business).

Not wishing to glamourize grafitti, arson, or sport, but here’s a picture I took recently of changing rooms by a football (soccer) pitch in Dublin West.

A summer photo from the suburbs of Dublin West for you. Somebody painted the place while I was in America. In the spring the graffiti goes quite well with the tree blossoms.
