Guinness Gate

I saw a HDR photograph of one of the Guinness gates some years ago in a photo magazine and thought it looked spectacular. Now this isnt that gate, I’ve never found that gate but I’ve never really looked too hard. This is one of the other gates close to the visitor center. I love the brick work and cobble stones in the area around the Guinness Storehouse. Its probably the best managed tourist attraction in Ireland and since Guinness own the land around the storehouse they maintain a certain old style that would have been replaced with soulless apartments and glass fronted shops years ago. Thankfully the property crash came just as Guinness were thinking of moving away from the city center. Hopefully they will keep the old fashioned character of the area for another 250 years.
