Description
I'm so glad that O'Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland, has been the scene for urban revitalization. I didn't see this street before, but I'm sure it would have broken my heart to see that beautiful old architecture in any state of disrepair. We just don't build department stores like that anymore, do we?
This photo of a bike rider making his way up O'Connell street on a winter morning was taken quite early in the day, soon after the sun rose. That partly accounts for the vastly empty street. Later in the day, your chances of getting a photo without a ton of cars, buses, and trucks would be unlikely And there's just something cool about that wide boulevard with only my lone bicyclist and some pedestrians...
I wish I could say that every morning in Ireland was as sun-soaked as this one, but the overcast skies should give some idea as to what the weather was like most days. But the bright sunlight in northern Europe in winter is really a special creature.
