James Joyce, forever forced to look upon the Spire on O'Connell Street Dublin. Here's a humorous look at the names of the statues and monuments in Dublin. I had heard that the Spire was nicknamed the "Stiletto in the Ghetto", but I hadn't heard it called, "North Pole"!

Overhead wires destroy urban photography and this is no exception. I could have tried to clone it out but it's notoriously difficult to clone out objects against a varying sky. Ah well.

It's not just urban shots they spoil, see my images of the straw bales the other day too, wires suck!! :(
Very nicely composed. I like the lighting on Joyce. Looks like he's having a furtive look from the shadows.
Fantastic shot!! The sky is spectacular, wonderful conversion, love the contrast and composition
