Dublin Picture Game 3.0

Victor

We haven't done one of these in a while.

"Here's the rules, a poster posts a picture of Dublin, people guess until someone is right. The winner either posts a picture or forfeits and somebody else steps up and posts a picture.

You have to take the picture yourself (basically, don't take from websites). If it's a neighbourhood picture, take a picture that people can reasonably guess at. Not some back alley or some generic house. And make sure the picture takes in quite a bit (i.e. not a close-up of a bench or something) People just have to guess the neighbourhood, but for a city picture the winner has to name the street."

BeerNut

Top of Bridge Street, near St Audoen's Park.

I'll post one tomorrow when I'm in town.

Victor

Correct.

BeerNut

Thank you for your patience.

Where's this then?

miamee

That is Stephen's Street Upper in D2

BeerNut

It is! Well done.

miamee

What street is this?

GBX

John Dillon Street

miamee

Yep, it is. Always liked that view of the small residential street with St. Patrick's towering in the background.

GBX

Perfect - I'll post something in a while or if somebody has one ready to go, fire ahead.

GBX

Hopefully not too easy or obscure

SVDP on Back lane?

No.

BeerNut

Might be time for a clue. Northside or southside?

GBX

Southside - will add: religious angle.

Gavin "shels"

Ormond Street off Cork St?

GBX

That's it - the Partners in Faith convent.

Gavin "shels"

Will try get a photo at some stage today, if someone else has one handy fire ahead in the meantime.

Cienciano

I have one, I'll jump in for Gavin.

Victor

Three Rock in the distance, but I can't identify the houses.

GBX

Somewhere out dundrum way ?
Any clue ?

Cienciano

Yeah GBX, right direction. Not quite as far as Dundrum. There's a park on the left

Marley Park?

Cienciano

No. Way smaller. Ok, it's obscure enough, so I'll give a landmark. Nearest pub is the dropping well

GBX

And its a distinguishable landmark/recognisable place?

francois

Dartry Park?

Cienciano

Ok, I though the distinct framing of 3 rock might give it away but it might be too obscure. It's down Patrick Doyle Road from the windy arbor playground near the 9 arches

BeerNut

Playground, eh? Which one's this?

Gloomtastic!

^ Harold's Cross?

BeerNut

Correct, old hoss!

GBX

Anyone got a pic ready to go?

miamee

Here, how about this? It's the back of a building rather than the streetview but accessible to the public. If hints are needed I can give some

Victor

The back of Newman House, St. Stephen's Green South from either the garden or the Iveagh Gardens.

Gavin "shels"

Only got around to getting a picture now

As a matter of interest, how do you display the picture from an attachment

GBX

Thats the apartments at the junction of Sleivebloom Road/Drimnagh

GBX

Upload to https://imgbb.com/ and copy the link to embed here.

GBX

Im a D12 man myself originally.


Anyone with a pic ready, go ahead

It is, now the home of MoLI (Museum of Literature Ireland). It was taken from the garden outside and it is accessible from Iveagh Gardens afaik. That was taken a few days before they officially opened in 2019, there's a cafe at the back with a few tables out in that space (at least there was before covid). A nice, hopefully lesser known spot for a coffee in the sun

When you post with the attachment you can then copy the link of the attachment, edit the post, click Insert Image and use that link as the address.

Gloomtastic!

Shoot, forgot all about this, sorry. Will hunt for a good spot and post soon.

Gloomtastic!

Too easy?

Correct. Always fascinated by the place. So many questions……

Wishbone Ash

I won't be in the city centre for a while so someone else can fire ahead.

I was thinking the convention centre, but I think the back wall is stone clad. The 3 Arena doesn't look right. It has a hint of a car park about it.

spurious

Car park was what I thought too.
