Visited the centre of Dublin yesterday as I had to bring my wife into her cancer forum. Thus I had to kill a couple of hours, so I brought my now little used Fuji with me. I wandered around Eccles St. where Leopold Bloom - the hero of James Joyce's opus "Ulysses" - lived, and then I went around to visit the Hugh Lane Gallery which is the Municipal Modern Art Museum for Dublin. In addition to works by international artists like Renoir, Degas, Rodin, etc. the gallery contains a lot of Irish works, and also has the original studio of Francis Bacon who was born in the city. After his death in 1992, the studio was dismantled in its entirety and meticulously reassembled in a Bacon dedicated area in the Gallery. Here are nine images starting with this one http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/HLG+Dublin+2018_Interior.jpg.html Click to the right thereafter. Douglas
