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!

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 ...

By the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on the banks of the River Lagan, a morning commuter rides by. I don't often do street photography but enjoy it when I do. I waited in this composition for a cyclist and underexposed by a stop or two.
