New Dublin

A shot of the new landscaping at the Grand Canal Square, a resurgent part of Dublin's Inner City. Taken on a misty February morning 2007, as the building site began to yield to the "Urban landscaped Square" The red lights are affectionately known as "Dog's Mickeys" and the green lights are just bright enough to confuse you but useless if you're trying to negotiate the area without skinning a shin!

More shots of the park - the daffodils are blooming all along the little stream, along with various wildflowers and plants. There's a bus stop on the far right, out on the road and peopel sit on a little wall and stare in at the park and the daffodils

Springtime, in the City...

This morning the first real daffodils bloomed in the tiny "park" at the end of our road. It's a lovely little strip of land, with a stream running through it and a real oasis in a busy suburban area; i've photographed it in Autumn but never managed to capture the daffodils. They were planted years ago and now have taken on a life of their own and I got a few nice shots while striding past into work this morning.

We spent a lovely evening in Thurso, Scotland - a place much maligned in the Lonely Planet and Rough Guide books. We arrived on a stunning evening, with incredible light and one of the best sunsets later on that I have ever seen. We walked out on this beach before dinner and afterwards strolled down the harbour - on our way back after photographing the sunset we were treated to an impromptu concert in the dark by a group of teenagers singing in a cafe; singing show tunes in the dark.
