    I noticed it there a bit after I posted it. It's just that I rarely see the city lined up from the east looking in, it's always set up like you see on the map.

    The work of that crafty OP for ya

    I'll try and do that even though I'm an exceptionally busy man.

    In the meantime here's another image.

    This is a pic of the real capital of Ireland.

    You could, and this is just an idea I'm throwing out, tilt your head, as if you are trying to listen to your right shoulder. After you've done that, look at the picture again, and presto ****ing changeo, its the right way up.

    Upon reading that, I instantly clicked on the link..and found that it was indeed, similar to what he said. That is until I saw those small bright dots that were the post lights :D

    Looks more like a bullet hole in a windscreen after the latest gangland shooting :(

    Pretty sure there's a Guinness ad campaign in these.
