Another street scene, I think this is Aungier Street in Dublin. I stress the *I think* bit becuase I'm not sure that it is! Put it this way, there's a street which is pretty long that has various names depending on which bit of it you happen to find yourself on. Camden Street, Wexford Street, Aungier Street, South Great George's Street...it's pretty much the one street, just different bits of it.

Anyway, I'm a little uninspired at the moment, the great 'wait for the cheque to come from the bank' boredom has kicked in...

Yep, Howth again, only this time with the rest of the meetDublin group from Flickr.

I guess you could describe the weather on the day as 'challenging'! But it did improve in the evening.

I'm not sure about the sky here, I think it needs more work, but I'm not sure what to do with it...

Another shot from Crumlin, I like this one. Two of the bowling balls, waiting to be used...

Wandering around Dublin 12 with the rest of the meetDublin folks we found this secluded little green space. Home to Crumlin Bowling Club, some games were taking place & there were no objections to us gatecrashing & firing off a few shots.

This is Lawn Bowling but I don't know anything about the sport. I do remember my Grandfather being involved in an indoor version of the sport when I was a child though.

Yep, bored again so I took a photo of my stuff! Not all of it gets used, the OM10 has a roll of film stuck in it that I'll need to remove in a darkbag or darkroom. The Flexaret is broken but makes a nice ornament :)

Some 'bridesmaids' at last weekend's Dublin Gay Pride Festival (the theme of which was 'always the bridesmaid never the bride', a comment on the current unavailability of civil same-sex partnerships in Ireland).

It was wet, grey and dull on saturday so the participants added a touch of colour to Dublin's streets.

Space Cowboy was the winner of the 2006 & 2008 Street Performance World Championships and has become something of a legend at the event. Unicycle riding, machete juggling, sword swallowing - it's all good clean fun in a 'don't try this at home kids' kind of way!

Alas, there was to be no 'hat-trick' for the Space Cowboy, the title going to The English Gents.
