TRIBUTE TO DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
TRIBUTE TO DAVID ATTENBOROUGH WHO IS NOW 93 – LONGWOOD AVENUE IN THE PORTOBELLO AREA OF DUBLIN
An entity or group known as Subset have recently created a Street Art tribute to David Attenborough on his 93rd birthday.
A few years ago I purchased an RX0 camera and it is tiny and even though it cost about Euro 990 I was happy with it but earlier this year it was replaced by a Mark II version which is much better and currently retails at Euro 799.
I usually carry the RX0 in my pocket so I can react if I something of interest but recently I have noticed that the images are faded and not well defined towards the top of the frame.

Over the next few months I plan to visit a number of towns and cities in Ireland.
In May I will visit Belfast, Cork and Limerick.
Today the project kicked off with a visit to Drogheda.
During a visit to any location I check to see if there is any worthwhile street art or graffiti and today I was not disappointed.
According to the locals Drogheda hosts the worlds longest running annual graffiti art event on the undercrofts of the bridge of peace every August.
this event has seen some of the worlds top artists visit the site since the walls were first painted in 1993.
If you are willing to suggest some suitable locations for me to photograph please contact me.

To be honest I was a bit disappointed as little has changed since my last visitor the year before or the year before that. Maybe I am visiting the wrong locations.

GREAT AND LITTLE STRAND STREET [CROSSES CAPEL STREET]-153006
GREAT AND LITTLE STRAND STREET [CROSSES CAPEL STREET]-153006
There are two sections to Strand Street the section from Lower Liffey Street to Capel Street is Great Strand Street and upon crossing Capel Street is becomes Little Strand Street.
Up until now the street would not have attracted much attention other than it hosted the DublinBikes Docking Station No. 46 which as recently disappeared. I went online to check and got the following message: "The station is temporarily disconnected. Its data are unavailable"
There is much construction ongoing along Great Strand Street to the best of my knowledge there will be a number of new hotels opening in the not too distant future.
At times there is some interesting street art on view.
Yesterday someone from the US asked me why do streets in Ireland have "Lower" and "Upper" in their names and how does one know which is which. My understanding is that Lower is always the section that is nearest a river or canal however there is one exception that I know of – Upper and Lower Mount Street are parallel to each other so neither is closer to the the canal but in this case Lower Mount street is closer to the River Liffey which is some distance away.
