      What is the large, tall white building in the top right of this picture?

      I think it may be the Herbert Park apartments:

      but it looks way too big.

      Note to fjp – sorry for framing your picture!

      I think its Ardoyne House which overlooks Herbert Park – but isn’t the one at the old Johnson Mooney & O’Brien site (above). Its a legacy of the 60’s and can best be viewed at the junction of Marlborough Road and Waterloo Road – it shows that high rise living can work in Ireland as apartments here fetch hefty sums

      I see this building from the bus occasionally, and it’s strange how quicky it disappears into the trees of the surrounding area. But yeah – it looks huge and I’ve never head any major public discussions about how awful it is to live there (in fact, google says people will pay 1550 EU per month for a two bed apt).

      No prob about the link, you’re more than welcome. At the moment my real problem is german people hotlinking pictures of dogs for fake pet sale advertisements (it makes no sense).

      And yes – this means the liberty hall photos are up:

      This may not be the place to be making comments / queries like this but I’m gonna anyway!

      fjp,

      Had a look around your website – really amazing stuff – and I would imagine a great resouce to many (including German dog selling fraudsters). I enjoyed the pics of Dundrum – I am originally from that area but have long since been in exile.
      My questions – how often do you update these pics? I presume the 020416 is the date reference?
      It is nice to get a look at the constuction progress in that area – good to see Dundrum & Dublin marching into the new millenium with plenty of large scale construction projects such as those in yours pics.

      Regards,

      Bloke

      Hi bloke,

      Well ta very much, although since we’re going off the point a good bit I’ll keep it short.

      Yup – dates like 020416 indicates 16.4.2002. The first way allows the computer to sort the files numerically.

      Updates: whenever I can, which isn’t really that often. The Latest Additions show an examples of updates in the past.

      But glad you liked it and thanks for the post,

      fjp

      (ps – sorry for the mini-hijacking paul, but seriously – a speedboat right between the bridges!!!)

      I thought you had caught one of the few moments of Butt Bridge without a truck going through the side 😉
