A surprisingly people-free Henry Street here. I couldn't help but think of the Patrick Kavanagh lines from Raglan Road: "On a quiet street where old ghosts meet..." . Rather apt, don't you think? As can be seen above, there was hardly a sinner in sight when I took this shot. The result, if I may say so, makes for an exceedingly pleasant experience upon the eye. With deep humility, Brian:-)

I snapped this snazzy piece of street art whilst strolling down South Great George's Street the other morning. It certainly added to my Friday feeling. I found it eye-catching in the extreme, this risqué woman figure about to unpeel her bikini bottoms. Then all the sevens - those holy numbers - standing proud and tall. "Coming Soon" says the sign. I'm not sure to what it refers but I'd gladly wait around for it just the same. Humble, as ever, Brian

"I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song..." These lines from Leonard Cohen's beautiful tune Tower of Song came to my mind as a I strolled past this fine tower on a recent afternoon. The majestic edifice in all its glory stands in the grounds of Dublin Castle. Dublin City was in the midst of a balmy late September Indian summer on the day I took the photograph, hence the cloudless clear blue sky above the tower. Looking up to the window to take aim, I couldn't help but wonder whether princes kept the view. Please do enjoy. Thine shutterbug, bathed in humility, Brian
