A long weekend break in Dublin with beautiful weather could only mean one thing, great opportunities for photographs.  We stayed in a hotel near to Grafton Street which allowed lots of opportunities for street photography.  The place that I particularly enjoyed visiting was Bewley’s coffee house.  The last time I was in Bewley’s was as a young 19 year old student ready to hitchhike around Ireland.  Trinity College Dublin is also very photogenic and the good weather brought out the people as the photographs show.  Another favourite spot is Dublin Castle and the gardens behind provide great spots for not only soaking in the sun but also taking photographs.  There are a few night shots thrown in and even though Sunday morning was dull in comparison to the rest of the weekend, several of the buildings still lent themselves to being photographed.  A memorable weekend and once again the fair city of Dublin is the winner.
