Upriver in the Cloudy Noon

  
I grabbed this fetching shot last Thursday afternoon (18th August, 2011) from Grattan Bridge. As you can see I've touched it up a little by means of the Camera+ app. I think I've managed to give it a rather painterly feel. In an act of high pretension I'm calling the photograph "Upriver in the Cloudy Noon". Incidentally, for any James Joyce fans reading, the building on the right of the picture is the Ormond Hotel. The hotel is the location of the Sirens Episode in Joyce's famous novel Ulysses. Nowadays, as far as I can tell, the establishment has been closed for several years. It's almost as though a programme of refurbishment coincided badly with the dreaded economic recession of recent times.
Anyway, please enjoy my picture.

Your humble shutterbug,

Brian:-)

Song in Em & G (Verse 1)
