Well, since we don't have "troubles" around here, we don't have the kind of artwork and "meatwagons" that you posted. It's the kind of thing we see in movies, but it seems so far removed, it's almost like it doesn't really exist. Realizing that there are real people who live with it every day is somewhat "intense" to me.

I loved this bar! If you had asked me where it is, I would have said Indonesia or somewhere in Asia... I would have never thought Belfast!

I also liked that government building, that entrance is very elegant.

I agree with Gary, the artwork and the meat wagons and the gates of peace are pretty intense, very interesting for us who haven´t lived the problems you have. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep them coming please!

 

[disney_nutter]

i will go looking for more

My brother got married last night with the party at the old Hacienda I posted previously. This is the entrance when I got there around 11pm. It was a beautiful night. A bright big moon and we even had Disney style fireworks! It was chilly, but nothing that a tequila couldn´t take away! I went to bed at 6am today! :animwink:
