For today we have a view of a very familiar scene, O'Connell Bridge from the south side looking up O'Connell Street towards the Pillar. The activity captured here is just fascinating with the electric trams, the trucks, vans, cars and lots and lots of pedestrians. The sign in the foreground which shows that ladies must walk on the road is taking things a little bit too far!

Rossmore Castle! A magnificent gothic pile with a vast array of rooms and windows is our photograph to end Monaghan Week.

A rare visit to the Fergus O’Connor Collection, and a lovely scene of a single-arched bridge across a seemingly broad expanse of water. It looks idyllic, and being out on that surface in a single scull would be just heaven! Where is it, and does it still stand?
