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.

I recently decided to head into the mountains; with the good weather that we had over the recent St. Patrick's Day long weekend I thought where better than the Dublin Mountains. The image above is a view over Dublin as seen from Ticknock with some of the various places marked. In this image it is possible to see Lansdowne Road (now renamed the Aviva), Croke Park, the National Convention Centre, Dublin Port and Liberty Hall.

The heart of Dublin's patron saint, St. Laurence O'Toole (LorcánUa Tuathail) has been stolen from Christchurch Cathedral in the heart of the city.

Sitting on the River Liffey as it enters the Irish Sea at Dublin Bay after 78 miles, Dublin has seen human settlement back to prehistoric times, but it isn't until 841AD when the vikings created a harbour on the River Poddle from which the city gets its name.
