A little early morning sunshine with the Moon visible in the blue sky.

A lovely time to be up and about.

Flightfest 2013

Just over a year since the Tall Ships were on the Liffey in Dublin, the capital of Ireland today played host to another unusual festival.

With the weather being fine yesterday and blustery conditions forecast for today, the day of Flightfest in Dublin it was quite a relief to see good weather for most of the afternoon.

Dublin's parks are getting more colourful by the day, the cold weather has arrived and it does feel like the summer is really over.

A good place to visit on a Photo Tour, Workshop or Photo Walk. Make that an essential place to visit on a photo tour of Dublin.

The GPO or General Post Office (Ard Oifig an Phoist) is an iconic building in Dublin, and a place that almost all visitors have heard of and all Dubliners reference as a meeting place. The last of the great Georgian buildings of Dublin it became the central headquarters for the postal service now An Post from 1818. Interestingly it was designed by the architect Francis Johnston who came from Armagh, the other Georgian city of Ireland.

At the present time, Dublin Bus drivers are on strike so there won't be the familiar yellow and blue buses on the city streets for the foreseeable. The strike began at midnight on Saturday and has been in place through Sunday and today, Bank Holiday Monday.

Dublin Photo Tours at the Coast

Leading photo tours around Dublin is interesting and often challenging, there are no two days the same. Despite visiting the same locations over and over again, it's hard to become tired of it. 

The Grand Canal

Ireland's Grand Canal runs from the Grand Canal Dock in Dublin all the way to Shannon Harbour in the west of Ireland, a distance of 131km. Begun in 1756 to carry cargo to and from Dublin it is now exclusively used for tourism purposes with plenty of barges making the scenic journey through the heart of Ireland every year.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin

I'm not sure if any trip to Dublin would be complete without a visit to Saint Patrick's.
