The delights a stroll around Dublin can bring you. I’ve always carried my camera around with me, but have only recently started to take it out and not give a shite that I look like a tourist.

A moody shot, if I say so myself
The above shot was taken from the roof of the Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre- it makes you realise how small this city is! The roof gives you an almost 360 degree view of the city… almost.

I could tell you, but its a Secret
Ah… the Secret Book and Record Store. Manys an afternoon has been spent in this place combing the shelves- not as much now since Freebird have usurped the spot once held by Mero’s- my first introduction to punk came from this place, and I hold fond memories of it. Always a great place to pick up a good read for less than a skindiver too.

Woof
These little chaps scare the beejaysus out of me… I could ask if anyone knew where they were but I reckon the act would be futile. And its somewhere we all know and love too- instead of heading downstairs to Pygmalion, have you ever thought of going upstairs to the antique rooms? They’re full of “treasures” like these and more.

Quack?
Off Liffey Street, there’s a laneway covered with graffiti like “Lithuania Rules,” “I’m against everything” and profanities I wouldn’t care to mention, but amongst them all is this little sticker. I think its deadly anyways.
Last but not least, the below image is of the “Wall of Fame” on the side of the Temple Bar Music Centre… Sorry I mean “Button Factory.” I guess someone thought it wasn’t ghetto enough and added their own two cents…

Ghetto Fame

There’s nothing wrong with looking like a tourist. Sometimes you can even take pleasure in it:

Agreed. Nothing wrong with looking like a tourist in the cause of a snapping great picture. I carry my camera everywhere I go too. Mine is pocket-sized though which helps me to not be too conspicuous.
