Here is a selection of pictures taken by me on my choir trip to Ireland.

Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin. Like the other main Cathedral, St Patrick's, it is Church in Ireland.



Merhorses (Kelpies?) on the banks of the Liffey.



Street artist at work - thought she was very good.



Typically somebody has to walk in front of the camera at the wrong moment! But I loved the expression on the Bodran player's face anyway.



Moving the angle a bit I was finally able to capture the Molly Malone statue! To Dubliners this is called "The Tart with the Cart" and also "The Dish with the Fish."

But she was the inspiration for the famous ditty:

In Dublin's fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I once met a young maid named Molly Malone;
She pushed her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Singing "cockles and mussels
Alive alive o!"



View of Molly from the front - the baskets looks kind of empty...



More to come!
