Rue du Chevalier-de-La-Barre is a street on the Montmartre hill in Paris, the first part of which is pedestrianized. It is named after Jean-François Lefèvre, Chevalier de La Barre (1746-1766), a young man from Amiens sentenced by civil justice to torture and death by beheading (1766), for various blasphemies. He was chosen by the anticlericals of the Third Republic while the Sacré-Coeur was under construction despite the intervention of the Church, in the person of the Bishop of Amiens, with a view to saving material time.

Glasnevin Cemetery is the largest and most significant burial ground in Ireland, often referred to as the "National Cemetery."
Founding and Purpose: It was established in 1832 by the political leader Daniel O'Connell (who is also buried there, beneath a striking round tower). It was created as a non-denominational cemetery at a time when Catholics were restricted from performing burial services in their own cemeteries, thus securing the right to a dignified burial for all faiths.
Historical Significance: It is the final resting place of approximately 1.5 million people, making it a living record of Irish history. Many of the most crucial figures in the fight for Irish independence and the formation of the state are interred here, including:
Michael Collins
Éamon de Valera
Charles Stewart Parnell
Countess Markievicz
Visitor Experience: Today, it is a major tourist attraction offering historical tours (such as the famous Dead Interesting Tour) and a museum, which tell the stories of both the great leaders and the ordinary people of Ireland.

Maquay's Bridge is a historic crossing that spans the Grand Canal in Dublin, not the River Liffey. It is situated near Grand Canal Street and the Grand Canal Basin in the Docklands area. The original bridge was constructed in 1791 and named after George Maquay, a banker and director of the Grand Canal Company. Its location is notable for its proximity to old docklands industries and the site of the 1916 Easter Rising at Boland's Mill. The bridge marks the entrance to the first lock on the canal. The structure today likely dates from a later reconstruction, possibly in the 1930s. Nowadays, the surrounding area is a mix of industrial heritage and modern office blocks, including the nearby Aviva Stadium.
The pub, and its famous basement bars became the hangout in Dublin in the 1970's for the emerging Rock music scene and was famously frequented by Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy fame. It’s for this reason that when a statue was erected to commemorate Philo, that Harry Street, right next to the pub Philo knew so well, was the ideal location for the statue.
These two shots are the last of mine from the Flickr Walk. It really was a fantastic afternoon turned into evening and therefore must link to Wayne's most superior shot of us all.... at the Local.
Cheers!

An improvised still life composition at the Irish pub: half pint of Murphy's red irish beer and the Olympus OM-D 10 Mk. II micro four thirds camera of my fellow photographer Isabel, fitted with a Industar 50-2 that highlights even further its "vintage" look.
I'm afraid that lately I'm typecasting myself as a beer photographer... ;-)

It's been a while since I last posted an update. Nice to see a lot of new people in the group! So many cool stories and great pictures. Keep them coming!
Really fun story here. So many strangers at once that I would feel like cheating if I posted each portrait individually. So here they are: the boys and girls of Seamus McDaniel's in Dogtown.
I was early for class, so I decided to grab the camera and take a walk around the neighborhood. I spotted the lovely ladies with the green background taking a break outside the the kitchen. I went, introduced myself and told them about the project; they thought it was a fun idea and were happy to partake. They asked if I needed more people to for the project, and before I could even reply they went inside and sent out the rest of the staff! They would come out the back door and say: are you the guy who's taking pictures? Quick shot and they sent the next one. So much fun!
It all happened so quickly that I didn't even get to ask for their names or an email address. But it's all good, I know where to find them.

Dublin Castle is one of the most important buildings in Irish history, located in the heart of the old city.
History and Role: From its founding in 1204 by order of King John of England until Ireland's independence in 1922, Dublin Castle was the seat of English and later British rule in Ireland (for 700 years). It served as a fortress, a viceregal residence, a prison, and an administrative centre.
Architecture: The original structure was a medieval fortress. However, a major fire in 1684 destroyed much of the building. What is visible today is primarily a transformation into an 18th-century Georgian palace, which includes the magnificent State Apartments.
Key Features: The only significantly surviving medieval part is the Record Tower. Also notable is the Chapel Royal, an impressive example of the Gothic Revival style.
Current Function: Since 1922, the castle has belonged to the Irish government. Today, it serves as the venue for presidential inaugurations, State receptions (visits by foreign dignitaries), and international conferences.

On the trumpet, this awesome lady blew loud and clear her notes and the applause was just great. As we left she waved goodbye to us. We had a marvellous evening and will go back again soon. You can see she was looking at us out of the corner of her eye!
Hah, no disrespect to my Irish friends, two of whom are pastors at my church, but, these things are in just about every major city in Ontario, at least. And, a few in Ireland, I hear. This one is just off main street, in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Not being pubbers, we didn't go in. And, it was before lunch, I think.

The Oscar Wilde Monument, located in Merrion Square in Dublin, is a tribute to the famous Irish writer and playwright. Unveiled in 1997, this sculpture is one of the most unique in the city. The main piece shows Wilde reclining on a large quartz boulder, with a dual facial expression: one half of his face smiles, while the other frowns, symbolizing his complex nature and controversial life. The sculpture is crafted from various materials, including green jade, pink, and blue granite. Beside it, there are two bronze pillars with quotes from the writer, one with a female figure representing his wife, Constance, and the other with a male figure. This monument is not only a tourist attraction but also a place for reflection on Wilde's legacy.

O'Connell Street Upper (O'Connell Street overall) is the principal and widest thoroughfare in Dublin city centre and a core axis of modern Irish history.
Location and Character: The street, located on the Northside of the River Liffey, is a broad and imposing boulevard, famous for its succession of monuments commemorating key figures in Irish nationalism and history. It was formerly named Sackville Street and was renamed in honour of Daniel O'Connell in 1924.
Key Monuments: The Upper part of the street is dominated by:
The Spire of Dublin: A modern, 120-meter-tall stainless steel needle, erected in 2003 on the site of the former Nelson's Pillar (destroyed in 1966).
The GPO (General Post Office): The neoclassical post office, famous for being the headquarters of the rebels during the 1916 Easter Rising. Bullet holes are still visible on its columns.
Statues: The street is lined with various statues, including those of James Larkin (trade union leader) and Charles Stewart Parnell (nationalist leader), which marks the street's northern end.
Historical Significance: The street is not only a commercial hub but an "open-air museum" of Ireland's rebellion and independence history, as it was the scene of numerous pivotal national events.

The Ha'penny Bridge (Halfpenny Bridge) is one of Dublin's most recognizable and beloved landmarks.
Name and History: Originally called the Liffey Bridge, it was built in 1816 by William Walsh, an entrepreneur who received a license to build a toll bridge on the condition that he dismantle his ferry service. The popular name, "Ha'penny Bridge," comes from the toll charged to pedestrians to cross it (a halfpenny).
Design and Material: It is a cast-iron bridge designed with an elegant, elongated arch. It is strictly for pedestrian use and has been restored several times, most recently in 2001.
Location: It spans the River Liffey, connecting the quays on the Southside (Temple Bar) with the quays on the Northside (near O'Connell Street).
Significance: Beyond its utility, the bridge is an iconic site and a popular destination for tourists, frequently appearing on postcards and promotional material for the city.
