The Aviva Wall

I knew about Roger Waters's The Wall Tour for some time now. I missed seeing him and Pink Floyd live in 1994 but this time fortune came down my alley. I'm not a big Floyd fan, but I still wouldn't want to miss the opportunity. Thanks to my friends, we got a pair of tickets to see them live in Bucuresti just in front of Parliament House. The gig policy said no cameras or recording devices. Ha, what about smart phones, you phonies?! Anyway, knowing they will come to Dublin too I planned to be there and record the light show, which is greater if you are at the concert, not outside it. That said, myself and my buddy photographer were last night in pole position to record it. Good dusk light, just a tad chill. Here it is.

Dublin Tall Ships Race 23-26 August 2012

The Tall Ships' Races are races for sail training "tall ships" (sailing ships). The races are designed to encourage international friendship and training for young people in the art of sailing.

The races are held annually in European waters and consists of two racing legs of several hundred nautical miles, and a "cruise in company" between the legs. Over one half (fifty-percent) of the crew of each ship participating in the races must consist of young people

Divide

This year I am trying to go in a different direction. It will be a divide from photography, but a style I have been trying to develop in the last years. The above image has been already posted on the blog, but when I took it, I always had this idea for it.

I'd like to come back up here in the future. Maybe this idea would make it possible?

Sandymount Tide

By the time I finished finding the right spot, mount the tripod, set the camera, put the filter, I noticed the three humps in the foreground have almost disappeared. The tide at Sandymount is very quick and you can easily forget where you are and that you don't have proper shoes.

Open House Dublin 2011

Three to four minutes to admire Dublin from above. It's not enough! There is no other way to it, but "becoming a syndicate member" - end of quote. Once a year, the architectural event- Open House Dublin organizes visits to key locations- residential, public and office buildings. I hope someday this could be done on a regular basis. If the weather helps, the view from the tallest building in Dublin is amazing!

Morning City colours

Early morning is usually a busy time. We pass by in a hurry and miss the hidden glamour. If only we could look up more often. There's a show going on, above our eyes. Of course the sun helps a lot, especially if you carry a camera and if you're in a good mood. The city is usually a place too busy for fluffy wanderers in the morning. Today I was the only one looking up. I was on a private date with my city.
