Remarkably, Dublin is having really sunny weather at the moment, if a little chilly. So as the sun rises for another morning, I was passing the front of Trinity College. The statue you see in the foreground is actually 18th Century politician Henry Grattan, who graced the Irish Parliament building (now the Bank of Ireland, College Green). It was only this morning I realised that from the angle I was, it almost looks like he’s singing to the Trinity Front Gate…

It DOES look like he is singing! Great shot! Hope you enjoy some warmer weather!

Hmm. Maybe he’s throwing bird seed. Or gesticulating on the virtues of proper architecture? But you’re right – singing is the best.
