Boyne River Bridge... Lost in the fog...
Keep your nerve, keep your distance!(click on the pics for the large version)
I'm hanging out in Dublin at the moment, which is kind of cool as I get to walk to work. I soon realised that I haven't lived in a "city centre" for a long, long time now (maybe Bondi Junction, Sydney back in the 90's?) I'm talking the sort of area where takeaway shops abound, traffic builds up outside the front door in the morning, Starbucks is 100 metres away and homeless people lie in the doorways... Dublin Trams (the LUAS) swirl by every few minutes. There's a real inspiration to being in the city though, and you get some nice evening walks past Dublin mansions with iron railings, neighbourhood parks (like Notting Hill) and all types of people out and about enjoying the summer evenings, although it has been bloody cool (and wet!) Yes, we talk about weather so much here - maybe it's a national pastime. Wednesday morning started in Dublin with pouring rain, buckets of it... eventually fading to blue skies & sunshine by late afternoon - then, driving north out of the city, a thick fog descended around 7pm - an absolute pea souper. This swirled all around Dublin Airport, which was already conked out by a radar failure trapping thousands of people for the night. Certainly made driving on the M1 a challenge too (pictures above).
