Ice Cream at St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre

The Sunday before last the weather in Dublin was in a word – amazing. The sun was shining and the temperature was certainly in the high teens or better. So far a week just after St Patrick’s day it was incredible to see such a lovely day. On the odd occasion when the sun does come out the demand for ice-cream dramatically goes up. The following photographs below show just some of the selections one may find at the St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre. The photograph directly below features mint chocolate, orange chocolate and rum & raisin ice-cream set in a large cone.

Arial Footage Flying Over Scotland ATR72-201 Twin-Engine Turboprop

A short piece of footage, looking out the window right next to engine and propeller of an ATR72-201 turboprop aircraft flying over the Scottish highlands on its way to Dublin. The aircraft was hence travelling from east to west, therefore the recorded footage on the left side of the aircraft is looking in a southerly direction. This was just one of several ATR72′s that make up the Aer Arann regional fleet. One can see further information about this first generation aircraft from the manufacturers website.

Sphere within Sphere at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

The Sphere within a Sphere recorded at Trinity College Dublin TCD, was created by Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro. It is located just outside of the Berkeley Library, very close to the old library featuring the long room and the book of kells. Quite a number of these may be found scattered around the world in places such as the Vatican to the UN headquaters in New York and even in Japan.

A journey through the Dublin Port Tunnel

The Dublin Port Tunnel is probably one of the fastest routes to take to get from Dublin City centre to the Airport. It provides a valuable link between the M1 motorway and Dublin Port. The tunnels are 4.5km in length and were opened to all traffic on the 27th January 2007, forming part of the M50 motorway. The Airlink 747 bus route takes the Dublin Port Tunnel on it journey from Heuston Train Station to Dublin Airport, running every 15 minutes throughout the week. As expected it isn’t Ireland without a bit of rain to be seen.
