Flooding of Ballsbridge

Natural disasters happen, it is a fact of life and there is not a lot that can be done about it.

Unfortunately the Hall of Fame was short lived but the music venue lives on as The Academy.

More about the Hotpress Hall of Fame.

Here Comes The Beast

Obama has been and gone, his visit cut short by the Icelandic ash cloud. I did not get into the city center to see him give his speech but I did manage to take some bad photos of “The Beast” passing by with Barack and Michelle in it.

This photo was taken on their way to the American embassy before it got stuck on the exit ramp when leaving.
