Powerscourt looks beautiful. As does the paving, etc outside the GPO, very slick and tidy.

 I think its the smug, satisfied smile that makes it so masterful.

Established by the Norse in 1030, present structure built in 1172, largest crypt in the UK and Ireland, burial place of Strongbow and much much more...
And what do we do??? Leave it in the centre of a major traffic junction, yellow boxes and traffic signs everywhere... Will we ever learn??? This place needs a proper piazza infront of it! Christchurch Cathedral  A very much compromised Christchurch place

Both St. Patricks and Christchurch in Dublin are beautiful buildings , especially when seen lit up at night - and especially at the moment with the snow

Sorry to carry on the theme, but another deeply unappreciated treasure is Dublin Castle. Carpark in the lower courtyard and the horror that is the revenue building just across from it.
Completely disconnected to its surroundings, one could visit Dublin without realising its smack bang in the middle of the city. It was once part of the streetscape, and it would be wonderful to see this again. This can be achieved by demolishing the revenue building and the 1960's building the George and Yamamori are in on George's street... Voila, the lower courtyard looks out onto George's Street and directly down onto Exchequer/Wicklow street. Dublin Castle Gate   Bedford Tower, once home to the Irish Crown Jewels    Dublin Castle gardens

It's impossible to appreciate so many buildings in Dublin because of bloody traffic, traffic signs, double decker buses and massive trees in front of the most important buildings, while grotty non-descript streets that could do with a bit of green lie bare.  Sorry, I'm in a bit of a rant mood today! |

Great pictures and really loving this thread. I'm ashamed to say that still haven't seen many of these. Two places I really want to see the most are the Aran islands and the Skelligs. Just look at those cliffs! Amazing.

Skellings are amazing; there were whales and dolphins surfacing when we went out there, and then the monastic site itself is just magical. (when you get up to it) Aran Islands are a bit meh!!! |
