As seen from the legendary 40 foot. After 20 odd years of living in this city this was my first ever time here. It felt like I was walking on hallowed ground...
I see the attraction. What a beautiful place.

Off Constitution Hill. Looking up at the southern end of the bus depot at Broadstone. Big changes afoot in the area. This will soon be a new part of the city.
I'm off today to the preview of the RHA Annual Exhibition. I'm delighted that 2 of my Stoneybatter photos will be part of the show. There'll be a little corner of the 'batter hanging proudly on the south side.
The show officially opens tomorrow and runs until the 12th August.
Viking Place - Stoneybatter

Even more happy to find that my pieces are hanging beside Hugh O'Conor's wonderful image. I've been in awe of his work for years.
Then I came across a piece called Nightshade, by Sergey Talichkin - a view over the city I'm familiar with from Killiney Hill.
I went looking in it for one house in particular that struck me when I was up there...it has it's own spotlight, highlighting it from it's neighbours.
Sergey noticed it too.
The Frame Foundry in Stoneybatter are on overdrive, beautifully framing the photos for my "Dublin - From Darkness into Light" exhibition / fundraiser for Pieta House. Exhibition opens this Thursday, the 4th May from 4pm - 7pm and will run until 7pm Friday 5th May.
My photos are in safe hands. Have a look at this little short promo for Frame Foundry

This part of the Grand Canal can be shockingly beautiful and exceedingly sordid all at the same time.
Just depends which way you're looking...

One from a recent trip to Craughwell, Co. Galway...there's something epic in these simple structures.
