Always nice to see a foreign eye view of Dublin, and I had to laugh at "Conflicting Sentiments" which is typical of a certain Dublin irreverence. It's a great collection, and is encouraging me to get out more. BTW I'm up to No. 3 in Ireland on the? Fuji waiting list. Incidentally, the bridge is the Sean Heuston Bridge and not the O'Connell one and was renamed after the man whose statue you photographed in the Phoenix Park. It was originally called King's Bridge but obviously the taste for things named after British kings ebbed rather rapidly after the Irish War of Independence. It was renamed Sarsfield Bridge after what some people call a patriot of convenience - Patrick Sarsfield (1655-1693) - on the foundation of the Irish state, and then, in a rethink, renamed after Heuston who had actually managed to die for Ireland. Life and legacy are all about the fickleness of timing.
