Wide angle image looking towards HMS Caroline, the remarkable First World War ship. HMS Caroline is located at Alexandra Dock, Queens Rd, Belfast in the heart of Titanic Quarter.
This statue was commissioned by the Titanic Museum in Belfast. The artist is Rowan Gillespie from Dublin who created this 750 kg. sculpture. It represents hope and positivity.
Taken on the same trip as my previous post. This is the Titanic Museum in Belfast, which is lit up vividly at Christmas.
I like the wide angle distortion on the sign in the bottom corners here. I couldn't move further back without getting a strong street light in the frame and this was the widest this lens goes. It was a struggle to fit everything in so I angled the frame, which I think fits with the shot ok.
Have a great weekend!
One of the famous cranes at the harbour - either Samson or Goliath, I’m not sure which. Taken from the road by the Titanic Museum very early on Monday morning. I’d dropped my son at the nearby airport and decided to take some city photos rather than heading back to bed.

HMS Belfast, the former Royal Navy battleship now moored permanently in the River Thames, provides the foreground with the City of London as the backdrop
Great little Seaside downtown area in Belfast, Maine. If you haven’t been there pack up your goods and check this place out. You won’t be sorry. Take a camera along. Thanks for viewing my work.
A long exposure across the River Lagan to the Titanic Museum and the iconic cranes of the docks called Samson and Goliath.
Thanks for the visit and any faves and comments. Have a great weekend!
I've lived in Belfast all my life and I think this is the only time I've ever been in the grounds of this place!
Great views over Belfast Lough and if you fancy a dander, Cavehill is just around the corner.
The weather in Belfast, just like her fate, is everlastingly changing. At one moment, there was optimal sunshine and at another, rains and downpours, and ideally rainbow or even rainbows afterwards. With the coming Brexit under Boris Johnson, one wonders if there will be any subsequent rainbow.
As to the motives for Brexit, there is a strong suggestion that the oligarchs and the vested interests are just trying to evade tax as Continental Laws have made it mandatory for all to cough up and to declare their interests ...
Good Singing in 80's
Autumnal weather in Belfast City Centre.
Built at the height of the Linen trade, and in a period when Belfast was briefly more populous than Dublin, it was built shortly after Belfast got city status from Queen Victoria, and her statue is just visible on the left.
Apparently the city hall in Durban, South Africa is pretty much a replica of this one.
Shouts to the boyos on this and a great thanks to Movs and Web... Great seeing ye lads, will have to catch up again soon! Lots of more mad stuff coming soon...
Front Street Boatyard. Among others being restored here is the 1925 Presidential Yacht USS Sequoia, a National Historic Landmark.
Looking towards the RISE sculpture located at Broadway Roundabout in Belfast, Northern Ireland Belfast.
Taken in the public entrance of Belfast City Hall with my Samyang 8mm fisheye lens. I loved how the light was streaming through the stained-glass windows, with the patterned floors and arches. I love the distortion of this lens at times too!
One of Belfast's "entries" - old alleyways in the city. This is Winecellar Entry leading to White's Tavern, 1630.

The Merchant Hotel on Belfast’s Waring Street was the headquarters of the Ulster Bank for a century and a half, and since 2010 has been a luxury hotel.
Bank Directors Robert Grimshaw and James Heron visited Glasgow and Edinburgh in 1857 to glean as much information as possible on the best banking buildings. It was their earnest wish that the building should appear elegant, substantial and prosperous. The location was deemed eminently suitable being, as it was then, in the heart of Belfast’s mercantile and commercial centre.
The Glaswegian architect James Hamilton designed an imposing building in High Victorian Italianate style executed in Giffnock sandstone. Sculptures depicting Commerce, Justice and Britannia, look down benignly from the apex of the magnificent facade.
The Merchant Hotel is located in the Cathedral Quarter nightlife district.

Clifton House is one of the few remaining 18th Century buildings surviving in Belfast; the city would become one of the world’s high-tech hothouses in the Victorian era, and the Georgian city was essentially demolished to make way for the new era.
This Grade A listed building was built 1771-4, originally as a poor house. In 1800 it played host to the first trials of inoculation and vaccination in Ireland. Today it is houses a heritage centre alongside a residential home and sheltered accommodation apartments. Some of those are operated by the Belfast Charitable Society, which originally built Clifton House, as is another nursing home a few hundred metres away at Carlisle Circus.

Another long exposure of the River Lagan in Belfast from Clarendon Dock towards the famous cranes and the Titanic Museum.
A tighter crop and different white balance and exposure time as a previous post but from the same viewpoint. I’m not sure which I prefer. I’ll return with a more telephoto lens and hopefully a more lively sky. In Explore 6th October 2022. Thanks for visiting.

This shot is of HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.
Annoyingly the sunset was in the other direction. I still got a nice blue hour shot anyway.
