A Garda car speeds past with lights flashing outside Trinity in Dublin a few weeks back. Rain made the evening miserable, but I had an umbrella and there were still loads of people about.

Following on from yesterday’s photo of the new lighthouse in Howth Harbour is this one of the original lighthouse. It sits at the mouth of the harbour and according to Wikipedia was built in the early 19th century.

If you walk out to the end of the pier at Howth Harbour, you’ll find this tall, thin building. It’s the “new” lighthouse, and has operated there since May 19th, 1982.

Walking along Henry Street in Dublin a few weeks ago, and I saw these two lads coming out of a shop in a hurry. I wouldn’t even have posted these, except the second guy seems to be quite a character!

A man selling sparklers on Henry Street, Dublin on Halloween this year. He promised that 2 for €3 was better than in the shops where they are 1 for €2, and he was right as we were in a Eurogiant later on! We didn’t buy any sparklers. He had plenty left over when we passed…

Just some Jokers and witches on O’Connell Bridge in Dublin on Halloween night. I stopped the Jokers for a photo, and the two witches wanted to take part too!

A young man checks his phone on a dark evening in Dublin a couple of weeks ago.

Heading home, late at night to the train station in Dublin on November 1st.

A busy Garda, Dublin. June 2004. Gardai have a shit job but I wonder what this person did to deserve a write-up? Drunk in public? Homeless? I hope she was taking notes to help this person.
