City
Pictures of Belfast:
St Anne's Cathedral's Cross of St Patrick, with a little model of the space shuttle launcher wearing a hat superimposed.
Despite the innate savagery of the Northern Irish, some modica of decency are occasionally observed. Like queuing in an orderly fashion at a bus stop.
No escaping religion, even in grafitti.
Northern Ireland v Wales from Olympia Drive.
University Road, coming over a little queer.
The deserted Botanic Gardens.
Wellesley Avenue looking onto Black Mountain, which was only opened to the public on 27th June this year. The army used to do top secret things up there (like spy on west Belfast).
The PSNI arresting a rowdy young Northern Ireland fan. Note the damage to the rear of the police Land Rover and some paint splatter on the rear wheel, possibly from the rioting in September.
Talbot Textiles, established in 1955 on Hill Street and now relocated to an industrial estate in the docks. This building will no doubt be turned into a posh bar, as it's in the tediously artificial "Cathedral Quarter", where every former warehouse must be turned into an entertainment venue by decree of Belfast City Council. In fact, it made me feel a little sad. Maybe it was just the location.
This is where pigeons beat their wings, wings beat to meet in, um, Exchange Street West.
