Christy Brown was born on 5th June 1932 in Crumlin, Dublin. He had 22 siblings of whom 9 died in infancy. He was an Irish writer and painter who had cerebral palsy and was able to write or type only with the toes of one foot. His most recognised work is an autobiography, My Left Foot (1954). It was later made into a 1989 film of the same name, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Brown.

Historic Diving bell in an orange red colour mounted on a steel base against a blue sky. On Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin, a tourist with backpack can be seen entering a doorway under the bell, where there are interpretative panels explaining the historical, social and engineering significance of the Diving Bell.

@irishcycle Amazing!
As an international student in #Dublin, I was commuting #Blackrock <-> #TrinityCollege daily some 23 years ago... the atmosphere was different!

Great to see the (positive) changes, #CycleLane, #tramway, etc., although of course not all his good in modernity (back then there was a "#NoToHighRises" fresco next to TCD, gone I guess!)

Then I guess the wind continues to blow from the North in the morning and from the South in the afternoon (reverse if you live in the North) !

"Bull Alley" Your evening #painting today comes from a warm day when I was #cycling in southwest #Dublin and after a couple of sketches I cycled into the city centre and sat in St Patrick's Park so I could enjoy the cathedral beside it and the flowers and even the people. After buying tea I got my perfect bench so I could paint the Iveagh Trust buildings opposite, a scene I'd wanted to paint for many years. #Art #Ireland #MastoDaoine #MastoArt #Artist #Watercolour #UrbanSketching

Landscape format. Ink and watercolour painting of large period red brick, 5-storey building. Top storey is dormer windows with red surrounds in a deep electric blue slate. I've rendered red-brick of the building in orange. It also has some pink sections and stripes on square tower-like endings. Windows are mostly square with a slightly arched top, and black with many small panels separated by white frames. Five large chimneys are along the roof. Several red drainpipes run down the building. In front of it are 2 large trees, without foliage, gnarly of thick brown trunk with green and purple on their branches. They are inside the park from where the painting was done, so has a hedge and lawn in the foreground, and railings behind the trees through which we see the street level of the large building. On the left of the yellow-green lawn in the foreground are a couple of decorative evergreen bushes, and on the right is a small tree with its trunk split at the bottom into three or four thin brown trunks all leading to the same thick mop of foliage of various greens. Grey steps to the street can be seen behind the split trunk at the end of the hedge. Sky is left blank white with just sparse branches and twigs of the two big trees breaking it.

James Connolly (Séamas Ó Conghaile) and Seán MacDiarmada, both signatories to the 1916 Proclamation, were executed on 12th May 1916.

Connolly had been so badly injured from the fighting that he was unable to stand before the firing squad; he was carried to a prison courtyard on a stretcher. Instead of being marched to the same spot where the others had been executed, Connolly was tied to a chair and then shot.

Through black railings and a couple of large trees, one on the right with plenty of bright green dotted foliage and the one on the left with sparse pale brown foliage on its extremities, we see several 2-storey buildings on the far side of the street, including a pink one with 2 small sun canopies of lilac and white stripes and red brick upper storeys with four narrow dark windows; a pub with a green facade, a white buildings with green trim, a grey building and off to the left a street of multiple buildings recedes.

Landscape format in black ink lines and various water media. View down street. On left side is a Dublin Bikes station, looking full, and buildings behind with top 2 stories red brick above the shop fronts at street level. Right side of street has black metal bollards and lamp-posts along a pale footpath, with shop fronts in shadowy blues to the right. On both sides of the steet is a dark grey narrow litter bin. At the end of street we see under a metal railway bridge, through the gap in its wide supporting piers either side, to Amiens Street and above its metal arch a grey Italianate square tower of Connolly Railway Station. The sky, street surface, and footpaths are white of paper left blank except for bike station, cycle lane, and double yellow lines, which are yellowy-orange, and traffic islands beside bike dock which are pale blue. Three small trees of yellow-green foliage populate the street between the bike dock and railway bridge..

Anyone good at figuring out mystery charges on bank statements? Why don’t they give more information? Like the name of the shop!

I'm selling my Brother DCP-L2530DW mono laser combo printer, complete with a fresh toner cart installed (4k pages, 60 EUR value) and a drum with about 13k pages left on it, if anyone in #Dublin or #Ireland is interested. About 1k pages printed in it's 3 year lifespan. 150 EUR.

Nothing wrong with the printer at all. It's built like a tank - I want to upgrade to a model with duplex ADF

'America was built on genocide' Jon Stewart's chats with Mick Wallace and Clare Daly go live

Historical whataboutery that should be dismissed as such - #Wallace and #Daly will say anything to justify their support of Russia's (openly imperalist) invasion of #Ukraine

The end of these two's terms can not come quickly enough. #Wexford and North #Dublin also need to really think about the harm they cause to #Ireland and themselves by electing protest-vote MEPs. #politics

The couple at the bus stop

Dublin is full of interesting moments to capture with a camera, and one of my recent favourites was photographing a couple waiting for the bus. They weren’t posing or even aware of my presence, but the scene was too good to pass up. :)

More letters about cars, bicycles and getting around Dublin. No one, so far, is mentioning that in the very very few cases that Dublin City Council has built separated cycling infrastructure, eg the short bit of the Grand Canal and the Clontarf Greenway, it's hugely used #greenways #DublinCityCouncil
#CarsAndTheCity #Cars #Dublin #Cycling

For school kids, the Safe Walking & Cycling Routes to School programme should take a lot of the school-run traffic from the streets.

These changes, which facilitate active and sustainable transport use (while also increasing physical activity and improving general health), will free up the roads for those who have no alternative to the car.

What's not to like about this? - Yours, etc,

Cars and urban transport solutions
Sustainable and active transport
Fri Mar 31 2023 - 00:14

Sir, - Michael McDowell is concerned that those who have little alternative to the private car are being unfairly targeted by the prioritisation of sustainable and active transport over cars (“Car use is not simply the prerogative of the odious and hysterical middle class”, Opinion & Analysis, March 29th).

The challenge for those of us, particularly in Dublin, who do have alternatives to the private car, is to choose those alternatives, at least some or most of the time.

‘We should remember that Bus Connects will lead to reduced bus times, making bus travel, in many cases, quicker than car travel in Dublin.

In addition, the construction of segregated bike lanes on the Bus Connects routes will help complete a segregated bike network which increases cyclists safety. This removes the main barrier to more cycling for the 25 per cent of Dubliners who say they would like to cycle (at least some of the time) but who are too nervous of mixing with cars.
Sir, - Michael McDowell seems to have little faith in public transport, telling us that it will never provide for the many needs of daily life.
Nevertheless, a future with vastly reduced private car ownership and usage is coming, whether Mr McDowell likes it or not.
To get a glimpse of what this future might look like we do not need to look too far, as other EU countries with better public transport systems are already well on their way to this future.
As an example, Austria is similar to Ireland in size and population.
Here, cities are largely car free and public transport is designed to the highest standard with excellent bus and rail links serving cities and the countryside. It is quite normal for people in rural areas to go about their daily lives using public transport. In cities, it is permitted to drive (on certain streets) but the majority of people choose to use public transport, walk or cycle - even when it’s raining! The result is people-centric towns, thriving rural communities, and high environmental standards.
As Austria’s GDP is also similar to ours, we may conclude that the difference is one of priorities and planning. A successful transition to a less car-dependent future requires investment in public transport in addition to a long-term approach to urban and rural planning.
Over the years, Mr McDowell has rightly argued that our approach to planning should be guided by the highest standards.
Indeed, this is what we should expect for our country…
Sir, - Cars have to go! Power lines replaced. Houses built. Public transport expanded. Cycle lanes too.

Not forgetting flood defences or fixing that creaking water supply.

Surely Lorenz Hart’s 1939 lyrical phrase about New York, “We tried to run the city, but the city ran away”, applies just as much to Dublin in 2023. - Yours, etc,

BRIAN FALTER,

Ballyshannon,

Co Donegal.

Sir, - Stephen Wall (Letters, March 30th) refers to the AA’s claim that €10,691.12 is the annual cost of running a car. I have never understood where these inflated figures come from.

This equates to €205.60 per week, and I'd certainly notice this from my €265.30 pension per week!

I'd warrant that the majority of individuals do not drive new cars or seek to change them every two to three years!

That’s where the cost is, not the actual running of the car, which in my case sits at around €40 per week, all found. - Yours, etc,

PAT QUINN,

Seán O'Casey (Seán Ó Cathasaigh) was born at 85 Upper Dorset Street, Dublin on 30th March 1880. He was an Irish dramatist and memoirist. A committed socialist, he was the first Irish playwright of note to write about the Dublin working classes.

Shadows of Everyday Life

It’s a common sight in today’s world – a woman walking down the street, engrossed in her phone, completely unaware of her surroundings. But on this particular day, I noticed something that caught my eye. As she walked, her silhouette cast a clear shadow on the pavement, and the Nike swoosh on her runners was prominently visible.

Lindsay Road. Your morning #painting today is mixed media piece I did of a house on #Dublin's northside where I spent some of the happiest moments of my life. I did it as a surprise for a dear friend. It is not yet available as a print. #Art #Ireland #MastoArt #MastoDaoine #Artist

Landscape format on white paper, in paints and inks. A pair of 2-story semi-detached red brick houses viewed front on from road, showing public footpath running horizontally, red railings, lawn, and some shrubbery in the garden on the right. A tree trunk twists up from by the kerb at the left edge. It has brown knotty elements but is mostly left white with bold black outlines. Sparse leaves of of bright green and lime are at the top. Houses have front doors beside each other in centre under grey stone arches, with bay windows up and down. Upper section has ornate castellated top. Roof is blue-purple slate. Chimneys are at both ends. Grey decorative stones are set above windows to match sills. Railings are set into low stone edging with grey stains. Sky is left white. Houses of similar design continue either side. Signed bottom right: Liam Daly

Workers on the Tracks

On an overcast day near the train I was on, four men wearing hi-vis vests were busy repairing something on the ground. They worked in the shadow of a large container that stood on brick lined pillars, with a wall behind providing further support. While one man worked diligently, the other three were huddled together, engrossed in a phone.

In the peaceful harbour of Howth, Co Dublin, a small blue boat bobbed gently in the water. The sky was overcast and grey, a sign that rain might be on the way, but that didn’t deter people from coming out to walk along the pier and take in the sights and sounds of the bustling harbour.

As the rain poured down on a gloomy evening in Dublin, a group of young people were out and about, determined not to let the weather dampen their spirits.

Me? I was on my way back to our hotel to get out of the rain!

It was a typical wet and gloomy Halloween night, and I was walking past a shop doorway when I noticed two young men huddled together, seeking shelter from the rain. One of them was dressed in a frog costume, and they were engrossed in something on the other’s phone.

I wonder is this cycle lane, where a cyclist who suffered brain damage was hurt, the deadly one along the quays where you go to turn right and if you're going at any speed slam straight into a completely unexpected kerb https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/2023/03/15/e-bike-cyclist-sues-dublin-city-council-in-multi-million-euro-claim-over-cycle-lane-kerb-height/ #Dublin #cyclist #BrainDamage #Lawsuit #Council

Likely the best photo I took at the Lizzo gig tonight in Dublin. Was a blast :)

#lizzo #dublin

An almost surreal photo of the audience looking at the stage at a concert. The photo is washed out with red, blue, and yellow lasers and a back-projected image of mountains and a night sky behind the stage. Lizzo can be seen off the side, in a small camera projection, singing.

Girl talk. Probably about how cold it was 🥶

A bit more seriously, she's an orangutan. They're critically endangered in the wild due to habitat destruction to make room for palm oil¹ production and due to humans seeing them as either cool pets or as food².

¹ very common ingredient in cheap(ish) foods and in a lot of cosmetics

² I knooow... that's pretty much cannibalism...
