YOU ARE GOING TO REAP JUST WHAT YOU SOW BY CONLETH GENT

Conleth Gent was born in Newbridge, Co. Kildare and studied at U.C.D. University College Dublin. His love of wood and working with wood can be clearly seen in each of his unique pieces. He is concerned mainly with personal expression through the use of figurative elements and occasionally abstract forms. His approach is individualistic, communicating something of the character of the particular piece of wood and his interaction and relationship with it.

NORTH CIRCULAR ROAD – PHIBSBOROUGH AREA

NORTH CIRCULAR ROAD – PHIBSBOROUGH AREA

The North Circular Road, designated as R101 regional road, is an important thoroughfare on the north-side of Dublin, in Ireland.

The regional road was constructed as the northern boundary of the city, and was laid out with the South Circular Road in 1763. It is still considered to separate the city centre from the inner suburbs. It runs from the Phoenix Park in the west through Phibsboro, to North Wall in the east. A number of important institutions are located along the road, including the Mater Hospital, Dalymount Park and Mountjoy Prison, and both Croke Park and St. Brendan’s Hospital are nearby. The majority of the original, large Victorian red brick houses have been converted into flats or apartments.

PHIBSBOROUGH LUAS TRAM STOP – OCTOBER 2021

PHIBSBOROUGH LUAS TRAM STOP – OCTOBER 2021

On Sat 4th Sep [until Sun 7th Nov] a series of essential engineering works started at Phibsborough Luas Stop. To facilitate these works, temporary partial closures of Luas Green Line Stops between Broombridge and Parnell will be required over 4 weekends. In addition, access to Phibsborough Luas Stop will be limited in the weeks between the temporary partial closures. https://luas.ie/phibsborough-works-2021/

Phibsborough is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2017 as a stop on Luas Cross City, an extension of the Green Line through the city centre from St. Stephen’s Green to Broombridge.

The stop is located in the cutting which once took heavy rail trains to Dublin Broadstone railway station but lay disused for many years. The stop is in-between Cabra Road and North Circular Road, both of which cross the line on bridges. The cutting is very narrow at this point, and the stop is bound by steep walls on each side covered with stone bricks. The edge platforms are considerably narrower than on most Luas stops, and have shelters, benches, information displays and Leap card validators.

The stop has entrances at both ends, taking passengers from the road bridges onto wooden walkways over the tracks. At each end there is a wooden staircase directly opposite the entrance and a glass lift shaft on the opposite side. The ticket machines are also located at this level. Owing to the limited space, Phibsborough is the only Luas stop which does not have ticket machines at platform level.

ROSEMOUNT ROAD PHIBSBOROUGH – IS IT A HIPSTER HAVEN

I have seen Rosemount Road described as a ‘hipster haven” in the property section of the Irish Times and I must admit that I do not fully understand the description.

PAINT-A-BOX STREET ART RECENT EXAMPLES IN DUBLIN 1

PAINT-A-BOX STREET ART RECENT EXAMPLES IN DUBLIN 1

Today did not go well as something went wrong with my Zeiss Batis 25mm lens. Not long after I went for a walk in the city centre it started to vibrate and at the same time making a grinding noise. The problem could only be resolved by removing the batteries but after about fifteen minutes the cycle would repeat. The camera body was damaged back in 2018 when I had a bad fall, damaging a number of ribs, while photographing in Belfast so I suspect that the body rather than the lens is the problem.
