Posted on 06/03/2014 by aj vosse

Last Saturday I mentioned that I most likely have more to offer on the theme of abandonment… so, why not give you a gallery of painful memories. The pain is not necessarily mine but I’m sure you’ll agree when I … Continue reading →

T200 – Signs

Posted on 26/02/2013 by aj vosse

Dublin Streets… Wall Art

Posted on 29/08/2012 by aj vosse

The weekend’s Tall Ships catered for all kinds of interests. The ships were the main attraction but you could find many side shows. Street art is often criticised. Not everyone is a Banksy… not all graffiti is wholesome… often the stuff is less than tasteful or even … Continue reading →

The Circular Line from Grand Canal Basin to the Suir Road Bridge.

Posted on 15/03/2012 by aj vosse

Last Saturday’s stroll (25 Feb 12) along the inner city section of the Grand Canal is a bit of canal that’s rather familiar to many folk. I’ve driven along this section on countless occasions, yet I have never walked the … Continue reading →
