Dublin

I have a love hate relationship with this town. I hate the violence puke piss and nastiness. I love the creativeness that oozes and the surreal interesting things that happen here and the people that make them happen.

I was showing a friend around from overseas and we were on O’Connell st and talking about the rising and the GPO and the British shelling it from gunboats on the liffey and the lyric from the song “Foggy Dew” while Britannia’s huns with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew.

I showed her these photos (click to enlarge) that I found at the national library and it puts it in context. Pretty amazing photos. I love that library.
