Walking in Belfast

 

I’ve mentioned before that I nearly always carry my Fuji camera now and these are just a few photographs from a walk in Belfast. Prior to getting this small camera I usually wouldn’t have had a camera with me, other than my mobile phone of course, unless I was going somewhere to specifically take photographs. These images will probably not be used but having a camera with me nearly all the time has made me much more productive than I thought it would.

These are the Terracotta Warriors that have been in the grounds of the City Hall for the past couple of weeks. Some were painted by local artists but others were left for visitors to do. I’m told they are going on a tour of Northern Ireland over the next few months.

These locks are on the Lagan Footbridge and are multiplying steadily. I saw a photograph recently of a bridge in Paris covered in padlocks and I think there was something on the news in the last month or two about locks being removed from the Ha’penny Bridge in Dublin. There was concern that they might damage the structure which is protected. Hopefully the Lagan Locks will be allowed to stay.

I haven’t actually been in the Belfast Barge yet but I intend to put that right over the next week or so.
