A bit late but here is the first of my photos from St Patricks Day in Dublin, 2012.
St Patricks Day
St Patricks Parade 2011
A bit late but I thought I’d post some photos from last weeks St Patricks Day Parade in Dublin. I got there early and found a spot up near the grandstands up at Parnell Sq which is where the parade starts. The good thing about being up at the start is the crowd is smaller and the parade goes by earlier so there is still plenty of time to go walk around and see the rest of the city center.
That said this year even before the parade had gone by Temple Bar was full of drunk kids who thought the funniest thing in the world would be to have their photo taken none of which I want to post since they were kids and drunk so it’s just not worth the hassle. I headed over to Ranelagh for some food and a pint, of Guinness of course.
St Patricks Day 2011
I spent yesterday in town at the St Patricks Day parade. I had hoped to get an official St Patricks Festival pass but didnt qualify, maybe next year. Still the good thing about St Patricks Day in Dublin is that most of the city center is given over to events and it’s still easy to get close to the action and take photos.
I’ll probably post some more of the parade itself and the participants over the next few days but to get started here is one of O’Connell St and the Spire before the parade started that I’ve been playing with.
