The morning was absolutely miserable and dreary - the rain made everything worse.
But, thankfully, the sun started to shine, and by the afternoon, it was absolutely gorgeous outside. So I decided to try my luck and go sightseeing (the weather changes so quickly that beautiful weather might only last for an hour or so).
I meandered down from the IFSC to O'Connell Street - my intent was to take a picture of the James Joyce statue just down O'Connell. This was my attempt to make up for a missed Bloomsday in Dublin.
James Joyce. I liked that someone left a rose, I'm assuming, for Bloomsday.I turned back down O'Connell and headed towards Trinity College and ultimately down Grafton Street. I stopped to watch a street performer (who I've seen before) juggle and play with fire. It was pretty neat to watch - his grand finale was to blow a fireball out of his mouth. I did try to take pictures, but they came out blurry.
This was just inside on the four entrances to the green. I think it's some kind of memorial. I like taking pictures of moss covered rocks.
This picture isn't of anything spectacular, but I think it looks cool. I just took a shot of the canopy of trees. In fact, I think the picture is a little blurry. If you forget that this is a picture of trees and branches, the colors and shapes look neat.
This is my generic picture of the green. This is merely a shot of the middle of the green - the entire area is much larger.
S-shaped tree. It's a random picture, but I liked it. It was one of the few good shots I took today.
This, by far, is my favorite picture of the entire lot of shots I took today. The green has many statues commemorating famous Irish people and this particular one is for W. B. Yeats. I like how the lighting worked in this picture. All the three shots I took of this statue came out nice.
Again, I liked the lighting in this picture. I was facing the sun when I took this shot, so the light between the trees became bright in the photo.
