Dublin Snippet

I've been larking about with my iPhone again. Here's a minute's worth of footage shot down at the quays: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R345WEoDJJ0 As they say rather threateningly in many restaurants: Enjoy! Thine humble shutterbug, Brian:-)

Stroll Around the Grounds

Hi, Here's another experiment in vision and sound. Granted, it's not xactly action-packed but I think it has a certain something, if I do say so myself *coughs humbly*. The music, Be Thou My Vision, is from the Northern Irish Gospel trio Revelation. The location: The King's Inns, Dublin. Now the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqHTCYiSUmE Imbued with humility, Brian:-)

Irish Karma

So, there I was perambulating through Temple Bar on a Monday lunchtime. Of a sudden, on the air, the sound of drumming, chanting and music filled my ears. Thankfully, by means of my trusty iPhone, I managed to capture some of the spectacle for posterity. Here's the link should you care to view it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyxyyG4qVrE Hare Rama, Brian

Unoccupied Dame Street

I went down to the Central Bank Plaza on Dame Street, Dublin today and grabbed a 40-second clip of the last vestiges of the Occupy Dame Street movement. I've posted the clip to YouTube and the link is below for your delectation. The authorities came for the protesters last night - like thieves in the night - and dismantled their camp in a matter of hours. It had been in existence since last October. The City Fathers have been telling the press in the past few days that they want the plaza cleaned up in preparation for the upcoming Saint Patrick's Day parade on March the 17th. I have a strong feeling, however, that this is not the last we will hear of the Dame Street dissenters. The link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9rETxZjAk0 Brian:-)

Bobbing Swans

Whilst filming the swimming snippet that I've linked here, I was struck by the following thought: When all is said and done, it mightn't be such a bad thing to come back as a swan... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8dDxjeZXn0
