Transport…

Posted on 11/09/2016 by aj vosse

I was in the process of putting together another post for today when Ailsa’s weekly travel theme arrived. Transport. Sorry… I pushed the other post away and jumped at this challenge. Just a few seconds for me to recall all the relevant posts and photos I have accumulated during the five odd years of blogging. Boating… trains, busses… planes, choppers… steam, barges… trucks and a car or twelve. OK… I’ll transport myself away just a tad… and hopefully you’ll enjoy the motion… via another of my galleries!

Sunday afternoon bliss! The Rambler makes her way along Ireland's Royal Canal

Old and not so old... steam and electric...

Evening time after work... a metal bridge across Spencer Dock... ready to make it into the Liffey... as soon as the tide allows...

Humanity everwhere... busy Saturday in the sunshine... O'Connell Street Bridge...

Bust Dublin Port... as seen from the Samuel Beckett Bridge...

31B under Newcomen Bridge... better known as 'Effin Bridge' Royal Canal ,Dublin

Joy ride around St Stephens Green... don't know if the horse likes this joy!

Aaah well... how about a plane as well? One of the Branson specials... I think...

A new bridge across the canal at Kilcock? Iron bridge?

Alo 111 620 hovers near Cape Recife Lighthouse, photo taken 29 May, 1990

Dec 08 - Steam crossing the Liffey over the rail bridge at the Custom House

Is that what I see? Yes... a tall ship making a U-turn on Dublin's Liffey... truth, I promise!

The taxi is waiting... the GLW sits and waits for me to reach my destination...

Metal tall... metal small... Dublin's Poolbeg Twins hide between the masts...

Plane walls? Graffiti at it's most creative... ;-)

Guinness truck and wall art, Dublin, Ireland

All our adventures begin in the heart... a horse ride on Sandymount Strand in Dublin is just what some need ...

Looking west from the bridge... rural canal bliss. Even a bit of shade for a boat or two...

Dublin sunset along Custom House Quay, the replica of the Jeanie Johnson famine ship against the sunset backdrop...

Planes at Faro Airport, Algarve, Portugal

Green busses at the ready - Hop on Hop off... take a ride around the sights... if you please!

Happy Frog... memories are made of this! ;-)

Dublin's Liffey in the summer... busy or what?

More shadows... final approach at Faro Airport...

May 05 - 461 Crossing the Royal Canal at the 7th Lock... watched by bargies and others alike...

Boats... canals, cars... pubs... what else do you want? Or need? The good life.

Alo 111 620 hovers over Van Staaden's River Bridge. Photo taken 29 May 1990

Look up... they're looking down... chopper and bird as seen from below the Fusiliers Arch

OK… enough for now!! I’ve been toying with the idea for doing a calendar… I think a themed one may just work!

That “tall ship making a U-turn on Dublin’s Liffey”! It’s the kind of thing we see on our roads every day – BUT then, minibus taxis are just not as majestic as that ship. 😀 Great gallery

  Thanks… I have to inform you… the taxi’s here also make U-turns in the middle of busy roads! Once a taxi driver…

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
