You never know what you will see on the bus

SERIOUSLY, I have said it before, you never know what you will see on a bus, so it is always worth having the camera handy.



It isn't completely in focus but you get the idea and if you can take a better pic of this (they have been there for a few days anyway, maybe more) please do. You can see them above Doyle's Pub as you go around from Dolier Street round the side of Trinity. I love the way they are hung out, it has to be something done by a fella, eejit. Still it has provided me with some mirth on the morning commute.

Halloween 2007

WHILE there are lots of fireworks going off around me the build-up to tonight has not been as noisy or as bad as in previous years. But they are going off tonight.

I snapped some of the various Halloween things that I spied throughout the day as well as attempting to capture the fireworks and I mean attempt. They were a bit a way and I was hand-holding the long lens. There were loads of different things to snap today, I caught a guy in face paint on a bike at lunchtime, a fornlorn and lonely pumpkin left out on bins and a company's festive door-decorating.

There were also loads of things I missed, such as on the way home where a gang of what appeared to be angels and devils meeting up at the Spire (it was dark and I was travelling by on a bus) to the rest of the mad assortment of costumes. Anywhere here's what I did manage to catch.

St Peter's, Phibsboro

HERE'S some pics of St Peter's in Phibsboro. The landmark is situated in the middle of two roads and in recent years it has been lit up at night. I used to tell the Young Wan when she was wee that Quasimodo lived in the spire and she used to wave up at him every time we passed. It's a beautiful building and this year a local primary school has moved into it's grounds. I'll have to go inside and get some shots.
