Liffey Blue

Hi,

I'm posting here another piece of footage centered around one of my all time favourite waterways, viz, the River Liffey in my hometown of Dublin, Ireland. As a matter of interest, in his gargantuan novel Finnegans Wake, James Joyce refers to the Liffey as Anna Livia Plurabelle, but I think I'll just stick with plain old Liffey for the purposes of this post. Besides, I ain't no James Joyce.
Anyway, it was on another sunny afternoon (I think that's a song lyric from the nineties) and I found myself upon Capel Street Bridge a.k.a Grattan Bridge for the umpteenth time in my life.
Liking what I saw of the river in the clemency of the day, I whipped out my iPhone and filmed away at the scene for thirty seconds or so.
The music I've added to the piece is Man on the River by Bryan Ingram.

Here is the link to my latest video creation:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVOb2l0wvI0&feature=plcp

Whilst maintaining my code of utmost humility, I must say in all fairness that it does look rather well.

It is my fervent wish that you will enjoy the experience of viewing it.

Humbly, until the next time,

Brian

PS The film was shot last Friday, August 10th, 2012.

He read the following: 'with such a look of bliss on his face that the people realized he had been transfigured by a holy ecstasy'.  I see you lithe and watery-eyed, flitting and flecked from activity, your fine bounce and flawless stride pump the rivers of my ecstasy. What's gone wrong, what's brought on such a massive change? From highness on the wine of life to hungover on earthly strife? Gliding gulls in the grey sky. Dublin December morning. You're the golden summit of what comes up here to live every single day.  He worried that he was becoming numerically dyslexic. He would seek out Catalan lessons in the new year. It was the day when Unwin and Quintana came by. One of those recurring dreams I have set on Abercorn Road. In a technology trance he thought of colonies on the ...

The Far Enchanting Shore

  v.1  I felt the breath of angels        As I walked out the door        They came from the future        From a far enchanting shore.        I spoke to my robot        When I got home at night        I asked it to show me        God's eternal light.                      chorus                 First we're here             And then we're gone  x2 v.2 I danced with the angels       In the morning on the beach       They spoke to me of places       That were just beyond my reach.       I spoke to my robot       Later in the day      I told it I relied upon      The things it had to say.       ...

A True Story

      Wherein we encounter Mr. Grudge Galmount...   Forget wood. He wanted to be a carpenter of words. So he persevered and wondered if he was writing the longest suicide note in history.   He was jolted in his mind to St. Valentine’s day in 1996:                                                          “Morning time blinding sun,                                               Terrible letter has come,            ...
