193/365:2010 Twelfth of July, Dublin Style

Street music was to be heard on the streets of Dublin, but I never heard the Sash once! Sadly, though, I wasn't able to take the shot I had intended for today. Right in the centre of Dublin, there is a huge tapestry of King Billy at the Battle of the Boyne, and I was going to take it, but there was a function in the room in the Bank of Ireland. Very disappointing!

051/365:2010 Whoosh!

An evening in Dublin to meet up with a French friend over for a conference. Following dinner we took her for a little walk showing some of the sights. This is the Bank of Ireland building with a bus whizzing past. The Irish Parliament of 1782 - 1800 sat in this building, and there are tapestries of the Siege of Derry and the Battle of the Boyne in the House of Lords Chamber inside this building. Remarkable for the centre of Dublin!

013/365:2010 College Colours

Another cold and wet day for some visiting this afternoon. My scarf was very necessary to keep me warm! It's my undergrad scarf from Trinity College Dublin. Several years ago, I was in London, and a man walking past on the street recognised the colours and instantly shouted out Trinity Dublin!
