Mind me space for me, will ya?

Some chairs marking a parking space in the slushy slushy on Camden street today, it's all turned into a big lake. Not much fluffy snow left.

Snowy snowy night

My very snowy front steps yesterday evening, coming home from some delicious lasagne over at the in-laws.

Dublin Iceness

Some snow covered Dublinbikes on Cornmarket Hight street in the wee hours of this morning, on my way back from a very good night in The Wright Venue enjoying the Smirnoff Nightlife exchange. We got Argentina, and then to top it all we beat them 29 - 9 in the rugby today!

Not worth the visit

A strange little vintage shop at the end of Parnell Square on the corner of Parnell street. Felt a bit like going into somebody else's living room, and the prices were a wee bit expensive. No return visit, no thank you.

The failed tight-rope walker

Well you know what they say about shoes on a wire...!? Upper Mercer street.

Steel Christmas

The Modern Ugly (In my opinion of course!) Christmas tree on O'Connell street in front of the GPO.

Reach for the clouds

Shoppers

Statue of two women sitting and talking to each other on Lower Liffey street. They've taken a rest from their shopping and their bags full of purchases are on the ground beside them. The bags clearly show that the women have been shopping in Arnott's, a large department store on Henry Street. By artist Jakki McKenna it was made in 1988 and has been nicknamed "The Hags with The Bags"!!

I remember a few years ago, somebody stole one of the bags, which would of been quite hard, seen as they are made of bronze! The bag had to be replaced, and now they are fixed to the ground.

Kayaks ready and waiting outside Great Outdoors Watersports on Clarendon Market.

Caramel Clouds

The skyline coming back into Dublin city on the Malahide road, beautiful.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

The back of a builder's van on Wexford street. No rest for the wicked these days.

Warm yourself from the inside out

Outdoors eating area of Busyfeet & Coco Cafe on South William Street. Homemade soup, Brownies&cream, and good coffee apparently (I don't touch the stuff!!)

How much do you charge!??

Inside out

A lamppost with exposed wires on Camden street. They look a bit like tentacles of intestine!

Travelling art (09Nov10)

 

A graffiti covered van parked outside the house. I've seen it around town before so it must be for something...

The early cyclist catches the first worm!!!

A bike enthusiast fixing a puncture at a bus stop on Charlotte way. Fair play to him he took out the tube and found the puncture and mended it in aboot 15 minutes, and he was done and cycling off before my bus even came!!!

Reflect what you want to see

In Glasthule village, took this shot of the reflection in a shop window. It's a bit of a confusing shot, but I think it works.

Early starts are always better

 

On the road down to Blackrock DART station this morning, a shot of a Stena Line ferry on it's way across Dublin bay. It was a lovely crisp morning.
