Nice shot and fantastic fish.

Respect,.,!!!

is it me or does the river seem high? Also, can anyone verify if the street lanterns on the bridge are the same or have they been replaced with replica's?

Tammy According to this interesting Dublin street lighting site, the gasoliers were "restored" around 1998-2003 - www.archiseek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=3968

What a super shot! There is so much going on here you could stare at it for ever and find new things all the time.

See all the dung on the street (great for roses) and the man pushing the handcart with the milk churn? Brilliant!
