Were you allowed in to explore, I wonder? Any sign of Sheelanagigs or interesting inscriptions?
I've passed the gates repeatedly & never thought to go in past the 5 star entrance...
It's nicely photographed: open doors and play streets like this now seem utopian (even if Janine is furious at waiting turn on that rocking horse). Might fewer cars unlock this as a revival? We need more communal green spaces for youngsters to be outside - Victor Papanek where are you now?
That chair with eyes in the back of its head appears to be a brilliant forerunner of today's lecture theatre integral folding writing-slope. The scribe has nifty fingers too!
Your rock stars (!!) are as dramatic and fabulous as their name suggests, and I love the way they've been spiralled into a dynamic wheel so carefully, by size. Yet each is a slightly different colour and height. Wow, well done!
That's a great photo & there are a significant number of these huge mosaics there, which they've succeeded in mounting vertically on walls, making it easy to appreciate so much impressive detail. We saw lots with these complex (sometimes apotropaic) geometric patterns, as well as figures & faces.
What a beautiful photo, I love how you've managed to reveal the light shining through the wing feathers.
It's a great habit to celebrate this kind of conspicuous repair - while resisting the temptation to replace good quality worn clothes. Same principle applies to repairing furniture or stitching ceramics & keeping all sorts of things serviceable - avoiding buying anything with built in obselescense.
This is brilliant, it'd be great to have them rolled out in Irish urban areas!
Yes I saw that!!
I was horrified.
This is an important campaign, not least to get barbaric customs made illegal, but also because gannets have been badly affected by avian flu & those of us living on the Irish coast notice a dramatic decline in numbers. Is there a petition if so please share it?
They're astonishing & reckon every child who visits gets a photo looking out through the face hole! A great way to impress the place on people's memories.
