Day 175.
About three weeks ago, I went on a business trip to Dublin. Since returning I've been quite busy, and am still catching up on the photos. Here is another batch.
The first day of the conference was a very light schedule: just registration and an opening reception in the evening. Thus, I had all day for sightseeing. I walked over quite a bit of central Dublin, hitting many of the highlights. One of the things I was most struck by was the public art: Dublin is full of interesting sculpture. One of the most striking and memorable was this memorial to the Irish Potato Famine (or Great Famine), titled simply 'Famine', by Rowen Gillespie.
There are a few other shots from the day in comments. I should get to uploading the remaining four days of my trip this week, and then I will be finally caught up (and can make my June mosaic).

I went to see Kings of Leon and rock my socks off! We had a great night bopping away, no concerts now though for a while so this one best have a lasting memory :)
