Dun Laoghaire has changed a lot since I took these photographs and there are many changes on the way especially along George’s Street.
I was employed by Ericsson and based in Dun Laoghaire at the Adelphi Centre from 2001 to 2010 and I really liked the town even though the place was going through a period of urban decline and depression.
When I was there we were based in George’s Street which was going down hill at a rapid pace and the company decision to move from the town must have had a huge impact on the town and especially on the restaurants on the main street.
Before I joined Ericsson I worked for two different companies with offices at Haigh Terrace which became a no-go area at night because of anti-social behaviour related to drug-dealing. Because of the new library complex and the removal of the pond in Moran Park the anti-social problem in the immediate area is no longer an issue even if some locals dislike the library building.
According to a recent report Georges Street is too long as a main street in order to support viable retailing. Therefore, it is proposed that the street be demarcated into distinct quarters: an Interiors Quarter on Lower Georges Street from Cumberland Street to St Michael’s Hospital; the Core Retail Quarter from Bloomfields Shopping Centre to Haigh Terrace; the Commercial & Residential Quarter from Haigh Terrace to Adelphi House; and the Artesian Quarter on Upper Georges Street from Mellifont Avenue to the People’s Park.
Several interventions at street level are required to change the appearance of each quarter and communicate a distinct proposition for each quarter to shoppers and visitors. These interventions will range from the establishment of new town squares; to the creative use of paving, seating, flowerbeds and lighting; to the introduction of new canopies and shading; to the erection of new sculpted features and signage.
It is envisaged that as the development of the retail quarters gain momentum, the demand for retail space will increase. The new mechanisms such as the Property Forum and Retail Forum will be vehicles to focus new retail businesses into clusters for example food and fashion specialty shops in the Artesian Quarter.
- From a trip to the Lake District over #10YearsAgo. This is a nice looking grasshopper climbing some rocky paths.
- From a road trip along the coast of Northern France in Brittany over #10YearsAgo and at that time, I was trying to get seagull photos at every angle closeup.
- From a trip to Stockholm over #10YearsAgo. This is the view of the amusement park Gröna Lund from a short city centre ferry ride to island Djurgården. That day started cloudy and dull.
- From a trip to Stockholm's Skansen over #10YearsAgo. Here is a peacock across its length from the tip of its beak to the tip of its tail.
- Panoramic view of Boston waterfront from my Boston harbour cruise tour over #10YearsAgo. This is towards the end of the cruise where the dramatic rain clouds start to appear.
- Looking out from the ferry approaching Dover after our road trip in Normandy over #10YearsAgo. There were a lot of shipping traffic and here was a container ship spotted in front of the white cliffs.
- Taken from an old France trip over #10YearsAgo. Here is an area found along the Seine where the foot paths under the street level can be seen across the river. Looks there is only a dog-walker at that time.
- A night scene over #10YearsAgo in central Stockholm. This is seen across the Grand Hotel which sits next to Handelsbanken building.
- Seen from an old France trip over #10YearsAgo in a Normandy beach. This stretch was not so crowded so there were many intact seashells in the sand when we looked for them. This shell has a "2" scratched on it. Is it a natural coincidence or human made mark?
- From a road trip along the coast of Northern French in Brittany over #10YearsAgo. The late sunset saw the low clouds lit up from the back and look almost as if they are raining sunlight.
- From travels #10YearsAgo. This is the profile view of the somewhat scary sculpture in the Uppsala botanic garden.
10 years ago i moved to akron ohio to take care of my Dad and a year before had bought myself my first digital camera, an Apple Quicktake 150 (640x480!). I believe this was my first self-portrait holding the camera at arm's length and taking the shot.
You could only take 8 photos and the camera would be full and so you'd have to download and erase to take more (there were no memory cards "back in the day." And, to top it off, it cost me around $700 i believe. It wasn't very good with low-light as i recall.
These photos have been cleaned up and sharpened a bit in photoshop so they present better, but the originals were fuzzy and blocky.
Since i started doing my 52nd year daily photos of myself i looked for my first digital self-portrait on my computer and believe this is it. It was also the only time in my life when i've tried growing facial hair. I'm just not the consistently furry type because this is where i could get the best bit of fuzz. Not very flattering except maybe in a Maynard G. Krebbs sorta way.
- This is the seafront houses of the Normandy seaside town of Le Tréport on a cloudy morning. From an old France road trip over #10YearsAgo at a Normandy coastal town.
- From travels #10YearsAgo. Here is an interesting and somewhat scary sculpture in the Uppsala botanic garden.

- From that time over #10YearsAgo I went to a classical Indian dance performance. This is how the dancers makeup and the stage costume looks like.
- Seen from an old France trip over #10YearsAgo in the picturesque Honfleur close to La Havre. This is the view of Hôtel de Ville of the town.
- Seen somewhere in Rouen from an old France trip over #10YearsAgo. Many houses got some interesting and unique decorations, like this stature-decorated house.

I think this is the Allen's Bend trail in Oak Creek Canyon. Alice was visiting us from Illinois, August 1998. This is one of my favorite photos of Alice.

- Scientific equipment seen over #10YearsAgo. The many valves in the electron microscopy room here. The label may be unrelated though.
- This is how the eagle lectern in the quire looks like, at least over #10YearsAgo when this shot was taken.
