Belfast

Belfast in Northern Ireland is a lovely place, it does obviously have a troubled past with sectarianism and the violence that has marred it's development. I believe that this structure is the City Hall and what a grand structure it is. This shot was taken at night, when the building is lit up in spectatcular fashion. It's well worth a visit. We didn't go inside but I believe there are tourist tours.

You are quite the photographer!

I admit that most of what I know about Northern Ireland is from reading about "The Troubles". I guess I better educate myself a bit further.

LB: Thanks :-) It's true sadly that the reputation of the city has been marred for years. I hope that changes over the next ten years. The city and people deserve the break

Tara: Yes it is, the photo doesn't really do it justice somehow.
