URBAN EXPRESSION AND DEPRESSION
Street Photography That Highlights Urban Life
COOLMINE WOODS – I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS PUBLIC FACILITY UNTIL THIS WEEK
At the centre of Coolmine is Coolmine woods. Its main path is often used as a shortcut for people heading towards the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre or by schoolchildren attending Coolmine Community School. Its flat and open grass make it popular for joggers and dog-walkers while during the summer, local football teams train on the grass.
A WALK ALONG COOLMINE ROAD FROM THE RAILWAY STATION TO CLONSILLA ROAD JUNCTION
This is an area of Dublin that know little about and I had less than 30 minutes to photograph the area because of heavy rain so I visited again two days later and I will the photographs later this week.
CANAL BANK ACROSS FROM COOLMINE STATION
I must admit that I expected to see a more useable pathway maybe it is better on the other side … I will investigate soon.
Coolmine railway station serves Coolmine, County Dublin, Ireland. It lies on the Dublin to Maynooth and Dublin Docklands to M3 Parkway railway station commuter routes.
COOLMINE TRAIN STATION – CARPENTERSTOWN ROAD
When I visited the times of the electronic display were incorrect but the information via my iPhone was accurate.
Coolmine railway station serves Coolmine, County Dublin, Ireland. It lies on the Dublin to Maynooth and Dublin Docklands to M3 Parkway railway station commuter routes.
A large car park is located next to the station, making it a popular park and ride location.
The station was opened on 2 July 1990, along with Broombridge, Castleknock, and Leixlip Confey. Like the latter three of these stations it underwent an upgrade project in 2000 which led to the portacabin booking office being replaced by a permanent station building and the platforms being lengthened. The ticket office is open from 06:30 to 13:00, Monday to Friday. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday [I assume that the station is operational at weekends].
This is an area of Dublin that know little about and I had less than 30 minutes to photograph the area because of heavy rain so I will need to visit again.
