So it was natural that I stop to photograph the well-known building, one that I have photographed over many years.
Here, after recent refurbishments to its façade, blue and yellow - the colours of Ukraine replaced the usual green that is projected during the Saint Patrick's Festival week.
It was later and darker than I would have preferred to photograph in the city, I had photographed it from a different angle a few weeks ago but still it was a pleasant evening and a fine use of time.
