Trip to Ireland #12
Here is a selection of pictures taken by me on my choir trip to Ireland.
Looking down the River Liffey in the opposite direction from O'Connell Bridge, Dublin.
The Great Man himself, statue of Daniel O'Connell at the head of the street that now bears his name.
As you can see, it stands upon an impressive plinth.
One of the angels on the plinth.
Possibly the most iconic building in the history of Ireland - the Post Office in O'Connell St, Dublin. It was the centre of the Easter Uprising in 1916, was largely destroyed apart from the front fascia and even though it has obviously been restored, you can still see bullet and shell marks on the stonework when close up to it.
A closer view of the front fascia.
More to come!
