X Factor Audition?

This is the outdoor Cinema in Temple Bar. There are a group of teenagers "hanging out" on the stage, perhaps they are waiting for Louis Walsh or Simon Cowell?

Fame?

In Temple Bar (read West Bank/ Las Ramblas - well not quiet..) I saw this Japanese Busker singing beautiful, melodic songs from her country. The man seems to have an ear for Japanese folk music while his partner needs more convincing.
I donated some loose change and the Busking lady managed to effortlessly incorporate "Thank you" into her song! U2 started as Buskers, not far from here...

Sunday Best

Ireland has a large number of African Immigrant's, particularly from Nigeria and on Sunday's you often see them going to Church services wearing their very best clothes. I met this beautifully dressed Mother and Daughter in Dublin this morning.

La Corte, Epicurean Food Hall

For genuine Italian coffee I often visit La Corte in the Epicurean Food Hall on Middle Abbet Street/ Liffey Street. It's sad then to see the "To Let" sign and I hope they don't have to move or close down.

Old Jervis Street Hospital (now Penney's Department Store)

I got the idea for this Photo from a fabulous Blog called "A Yankee-in-Belgrade". It's well worth visiting this Blog if you want to get an insight into what life is like in this fascinating Serbian city. Not only are "Bibi's" photo's very beautiful but she gives interesting nuggets of information with each one.

What's for Dinner?

Moore Street, Dublin today. Cold and blustery, rain threatening! In the photo below - Puerto de Mazarron, Espana last week - warm, sunny, blue sky!
