Spotted a couple of weeks ago on the River Lagan. I’ve walked past these bikes fitted with floats before but never saw one in action. They’re berthed on the river at the Waterfront Hall and a quick search on Google reveals they’re called Hydrobikes. They can be hired for exploring the river and come in different configurations for singles, couples and families.
While trawling through old hard drives I found this photograph of the Belfast Buoys on their original site in Cathedral Gardens, or as I believed at the time – the grounds of the Ulster University.
Regeneration of the area around the University saw the buoys moved to the Abercorn Basin in Titanic Quarter, via DunLaoghaire for restoration in January 2019. They arrived back in Belfast in time for the Maritime Festival.
I’m fairly sure I have a photograph of them on their new site. If I haven’t I’ll get one.
There’s Only Seven Types of Rain in Belfast – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday …. says the neon sign at The Duke of York Bar in Commercial Court. It’s not as bad as that but and on a chilly wet November evening it can feel like it is.
I was able to stand on a traffic island in High Street and wait for these buses to pass.
The title is a quote from F. Murray Abraham.
This image is from a Women Demand Better protest rally in Belfast on 29 October. Everyone seemed in good spirits although it was one of those miserable rain all day days with rain interspersed with periods of light drizzle. The days you don’t realise how wet you got until you get back to the car or go in for a cup of coffee and find you’re sitting in a pool of water.
Exchange Court, Cathedral Quarter.
Under the archway you can see Donegall Street and if you were to turn right you would come to St Anne’s Cathedral and Writers’ Square in a couple of hundred yards.
I often take photographs of signs. These attracted attention mainly because of the contrasting colours.
Some people take their coffee very seriously.
