The first afternoon we were in Dublin we discovered this lane with both graffiti and old stone walls. The lane got a little sketchy towards the end where it meets the canal. Probably not a place I would venture after the dark, but it was interesting that this was my first view of Dublin.
Walking around the Ballsbridge section of Dublin we ran across an Irish mailbox ( green, of course) and this odd, metal trash bin where people can deposit their old phones.
This is probably my last post from Portland this week. Saturday morning we leave for Ireland for ten days. Hopefully will post while traveling, Wi-Fi dependent.
After this week my posting may be a bit irregular. The following three weeks I will be on the road in Portland, OR. and then onto Ireland for 10 days. Posting from Portland is fairly easy as there is Wi-Fi at my daughter’s home; Ireland may be a bit more spotty, but I hope to post from our travels there as well ( via my iPad Mini), depending on availability of free Wi-Fi spots. I won’t be taking my Nikon, but between my iPhone and a Samsung St150F digital camera I hope things will work out. After we return from Ireland I have ten days to put the finishing ideas together for the September show I have at Capitol Hill Hair. I’ll be posting a notice about that as well as map and directions on both the blog and my Facebook page.
As you can see below, the bridge guard rail still had the shrink-wrap attached. I guess that is proof the bridge is new :-). I’m not sure how the spaceman in the car fits into the scheme of things, but that is part of the charm of South Park.
A bookstore in an alley and street musicians from 1970, San Francisco. This may be the last in this series unless I can dig up some 45 year old prints that could be hidden about our home or garage.
Somehow I think these two signs fit together, although I am not sure how. The location is the oldest ( and one of my favorite haunts ) neighborhoods in Seattle, Georgetown.
