Dublin - love it or hate it

When I came to Dublin 2 years ago, I didn't know Ireland at all. I only knew the excited reports of friends and aquaintances, who fell in love with the "Green island". Right from the start, Dublin welcomed me with rain. It rained the whole summer and made it even harder for me to feel at home in this city. So it took me almost a year, before I finally didn't find Dublin horrible anymore, but somewhat okay. We are still no friends - Dublin and I - but we respect each other.

Today I can admit that there are nice areas in Dublin - and when the rain takes a break, I am outside and try to photograph the rough beauty.
