Patrick O’Reilly is famous for his large bronze teddy bears and this is a new addition to his collection however his bears have resulted in a claim that Dublin City Council is biased towards the Southside of the city at the expense of the Northside as demonstrated by the sculpture trail it promoted.

I am willing to bet that you never heard of Pelletstown but the area has attracted much attention as it now has a new train station which I will find useful going forward especially as there is a train every 30 minutes in either direction. At peak times the frequency is higher.

Below is the artist's biography:
"The journey into the world of craft began in the early 80’s with a diploma in musical instrument technology from the London College of Furniture. I then returned to the country of my birth, New Zealand, where I spent the first three years of my life. It was here I made the transition from working with wood to metal. This opened the floodgates of creativity and honing my existing skills to a new medium was exciting and challenging. Functional pieces such as chairs, tables, candle holders, mirrors, lamps, vases and bowls, sold in galleries throughout New Zealand.
Returning to Wicklow in ‘97, I exhibited at ‘Showcase’ for many years receiving an award for ‘Moon bowl’ and at ‘Sculpture In Context’ an award for ‘Vest’.
Now living in West Cork since 2001 I have been part of many joint exhibitions, including ‘10 Hands’ and ‘West Cork Creates’. Much of my work is commissions, bespoke awards and presentation pieces."

Using a Zeiss Batis 135mm lens imposed some constraints but I very much like this lens.
I am due to visit Belfast within a few days and the last time I was there, early 2019, I had a bad fall and damaged two or three ribs as well as my Sony A7RIII camera and my Voigtlander 40mm lens. Not long after that fall I purchased a Sony A7RIV and even though I intended to use the RIII as a backup body I never used it again mainly because I could not get geo-tagging to work. In general I preferred the newer body.

I have always found this difficult to photograph because of its location [height above road, angle of view, facing onto a main road from on high]. Today the Sony 90mm Macro lens produced better images than any of my other lenses have produced to date.

Kings In the pub The is located on the corner of Henrietta Street and Bolton Street.
I always sceptical when I see claims such as "established 1842" however Henrietta Street was developed by Luke Gardiner during the 1720
I decided if I could verify the claim [www.libraryireland.com/Dublin-Street-Directory-1862/135.php] and discovered that in 1862 Margaret O'Callaghan owned the Queen's Inns Tavern. This is interesting because King's Inns would have changed its name depending on whether there was a King or Queen in London so if Ireland was still part of the UK it would be Queen's Inns.
