Dublin is the capital and largest city of Ireland. Situated on a bay on the east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey, it lies within the province of Leinster. It is bordered on the south by the Dublin Mountains, a part of the Wicklow Mountains range. There is archaeological debate regarding precisely where Dublin was established by the Gaels in or before the 7th century AD. Later expanded as a Viking settlement, the Kingdom of Dublin the city became Ireland’s principal settlement following the Normal invasion. The city expanded rapidly from the 17th century and was briefly the second largest city in the British Empire before the Acts of Union in 1800. Following the partition of Ireland in 1922, Dublin became the capital of the Irish free State, later renamed Ireland.
Dublin is a historical and contemporary centre for education, the arts, administration and industry.
As of 2018 the city was listed by the Globalisation and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a global city, with a ranking of «Alpha −», which places it amongst the top thirty cities in the world. (Wikipedia). At the beginning of the year I had t he opportunity to visit this magnificent city. I fell in love with the city at first sight.
Its history, combined with the atmosphere it creates, makes you feel at ease and settled from the start. It’s a very urban city with a distinct personality.
As I always do when travelling, I used my film camera to capture the beauty of this city, and here are some Dublin pictures from the film scans. Being a photographer in Dublin for a few days was a joy and a great source of inspiration for me! I hope you enjoy the photos, and that I was able to convey the atmosphere of the city and give you an idea of what it’s like to walk around this magnificent city!
