My Home Town

A busy day at work so not much time for photography, certainly not for anything creative. Escaped from the office for a short while to interview yet another of the candidates in the forthcoming Presidential election. The sun was shining so I just grabbed this quick shot of Dundalk's main street, looking towards the old 'Green' church which gets its name from the copper spire. Several premises along the street are for sale or rent as a result of the on-going economic downturn.

Nice and colorful facades, elegant and decorative street lights, and the church completing this pretty townscape. Just hope the economy will recover soon to not change this lovely picture!V!

Looks like a lovely place to live. Plenty of colours in the buildings and I like the fact that there are flowers too.

'for sale'. 'to let', literally signs of the times...still there's lots of activity on the main street..

The sun on the buildings and the dark sky make such an appealing image.

Like the colorful facades and the chimneys! Street scenes are always interesting to me.

A very colourful frontage, such a shame about the local business's going to the wall.

A very nice perspective down the main street with this array of facades and eye catching street lights.

It is a beautiful town and streetscape, but sad to hear about the economic downturn having its impact. V
