Pictures Taken By you...

[Niamh]

That's me in a Dublin shopping centre that is of architectural merit in itself. The roof (in the background) is all made of glass.

Yes i agree that the St Stephens Green shopping centre is Spectacular Architectually. Got a real victorian feel to it, or like a big green house in a botanic gardens. I think it was built in the seventys. I think the big clock in it is cool!

That's me on a bridge over the river Liffey. Quite windy day that was .

Its always windy in Ireland!

This here is picture of one of Dublin big streets, with the monument of an Irish politician on the left:

And the final one is me enjoying a Guinness in an Irish pub (with a man in a kilt in the background !) :

Its good to see some of your pics of Ireland Cookie!

Madi i love those new pics! esp the one with the Peacock. such a beautiful bird. Isnt it a protected sacred animal in India?

Those monkeys are so cute!

*edit* I like the way the Quote boxs have framed your pics Schok!

Peacock is India's national bird. When it spreads its feathers it looks even more beautiful, this site you will see mostly in the monsoon season, or when a peacock is trying to attract a peahen.

The monkeys are cute, but they are dangerous too, it became scary when while we were taking pictures and they started approaching us.

I got a glimpse of Ireland too from Cookie's pictures. It seems a pleasant place. Very nice place you live in Niamh.

[Madhuri]

Why not? I see nothing mutually exclusive about love of photography and posting here.

I'm very grateful you did, Maddie, seeing that if ever it will be quite a while until I'll be able to visit India myself, and your pictures are some consolation at least. You're actually performing a service for others .

I dont know, but his thought came across my mind.

Oh, Niamh, could you show places that James Joyce mentions, especially in Ulysses? I would love to visualize exactly what he mentions. I find that Joyce is not much on description; he just mentions a place and one is almost supposed to know what it looks like. I should get a list together. I don't have time right now, but I would love to see the places he mentions. Off the top of my head there is the Martello (?) Tower and The Stand (is that a beach?).

Okay that seems like a bit of a challenge and seeing as i'm on holiday, sure! i'll do it! 'The stand'. do you mean the strand? We have the north strand which is also called the bull island which is a sand spit, a geological feature thats made up of sand, is primarily a beach and juts out of the coast like a natural pier. There are martello towers allover the dublin coast so i'll get some pics of those.

Anyone else got requests?

I was tempted to ask Schok the same thing! as well as 'are you sure you were in Ireland? A man in a Kilt?'

Yes, The Strand is what Joyce mentions. When I get home tonight I'll look up other places he mentions.

[miss tenderness]

nice,Johny.

[Johnny.]

I love it, it's almost iconic. Heh.

[Virgil]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I didn't know they wear kilts in Ireland. But perhaps some man who just wants to wear a skirt.

Hum...am not sure now! I like to take pictures not be in them. i'm not photogenic.

Yes, The Strand is what Joyce mentions. When I get home tonight I'll look up other places he mentions.

Yeah Virgil do and i'll try get some photos of them as well as other places. Really want to get a picture of Dublin as seen from Howth head. I can do a thread up about Dublin literary locations.
