Sometimes chance smiles, other times she points and laughs. This shot is a bit of both.
I noticed the “cut-out” in the Samuel Beckett Bridge, and that through it you could see some of Dublin’s landmarks. As I was focusing the couple on the other side of the bridge turned to kiss.
Snap!
Just as a car pulled in front of the vista leaving its radio areal in the shot.
Oh well.
I’m sure someone will stage this shot soon enough. A wedding party perhaps?

The curve of the Samuel Beckett bridge extended just a little bit by the lights.

Photographers (wannabes too) should always carry their camera with them as there is no guarantee that you’ll be able to get the same shot in the same location with the same light again.
Unfortunately, if you’re driving, you can’t really snap things, unless you’re stuck in traffic.
This is a shot I’ve been trying to get for years, and finally as a passenger I could get it. When leaving Kildare, just on the Dublin border on the M7/M9 you rise up and the whole of Dublin lies shining beneath you. Its the last hill and unobstructed view on the way. From this edge of West Dublin, you can see the Airport.
Its a bit blurred, but its probably my only shot at this for years to come.

Its Saturday, and this is a sign on Capel Street. “The Irish Firm” is painted below it. And the new shop below that, well it sells interesting toys for adults.
No idea if the pink neon rock is related to the current shop.

It looks like I got a nice macro shot from inside a pinball machine, but in reality those things aren’t that dark.

It’s a plaza or Square beside Dublin city Hall on Dame’s Street. The “pinballs” are embedded on the edge of the concrete seas to prevent skateboarders doing their thing.
OK, they are traffic cameras and not robots. But the 10 year old in me can dream.

Should have cropped the posts put of the right hand side, but too late. If you know the area, the Rathcoole branch of Avoca is on the other side of the trees. Personally I think it looks slightly dreamy.
