The typical first photo?

Well, I really couldn’t begin this blog with something atypical to do with Dublin, so here’s one that maybe 70% of tourists have!! I really like this photo because you get three landmarks for the price of one. The Custom House, that rare thing called a skyscraper in Dublin known as Liberty Hall and the Spire. To be fair, they are probably three structures that will feature from time to time on this blog. That’s no bad thing. Although Liberty Hall is a real eyesore, the Spire has been pretty controversial, despite being relatively young. It’s a giant nail, but I love it. Maybe one day it’ll become as photographed as the Eiffel Tower?!?

I hope that whether you’re a real Dub (born between the Canals) or a tourist simply wishing to visit the city at some stage, you find something interesting and entertaining! And enjoy!
