Dublin Picture Game 2.0 (read the rules in post #1)

    Time to start a new thread on this

    Heres the rules, as per the first thread:
    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.

    Ah now lads/ladies we can't be getting off on the wrong foot! :)

    Apologies for being fussy but St Georges Church is in Hardwicke Place - not Temple Street.

    Great to see the thread going again. I had hundreds of pics of the City Centre on a laptop but they were accidently wiped when I left it in for repair. :(

    I'm sure I've passed that on my Royal Canal cycle, I'm not sure of the road but is it on the Royal canal between Ashtown and Campbells garage at Rathoath Road?
