There’s talk that the Apple shop in Victoria Square may be moving to larger premises in 2024.
Its certainly always busy.
Situated in the grounds of Botanic Gardens, the Ulster Museum has around 8000 square metres of display space.
Well worth a visit.
These people are at the City Hall every Saturday when I pass. They’re worried about a lot of aspects of modern life and most people walk by with barely a glance.
Are they wrong about everything?
I took this photograph of Samson and Goliath some years ago and I may have included it previously. The old brick wall at the right is no longer there and sadly the blue sky has been missing these past few weeks.
This is an improved version with the sky extended at the top of the image, a touch of red removed and it has been sharpened in Topaz.
The above images were taken on my old iPhone 8. It has been replaced with an iPhone 13 and while setting up the new phone all my photographs were moved across. I found these while doing a clean out.
Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) was founded in 1845. It is renowned for its academic excellence and rich history and attracts students from all over the world. An iconic landmark is the Lanyon Building, a striking Victorian masterpiece named after its architect, Sir Charles Lanyon.

It has been more than twenty years since my last stay in Edinburgh. A couple of years ago, I spent an afternoon there while on a bus trip but that was really just a walk up and down Princes Street and then time to go.
On my previous visits, when I stayed in the city, I had travelled by car. This time I flew. Easyjet from Belfast – I hadn’t realised it takes only about 25 minutes.
In Edinburgh there’s a tram service every seven minutes from the airport to the city centre. It takes about half an hour. Convenient and stress free.
I enjoy walking around any city I visit, immersing myself in the atmosphere, gaining a sense of the place and of course taking photographs. In Edinburgh The Old Town, with its cobbled streets and narrow alleys project a sense of history and charm, while the shops, cafes and bars in and around Princes Street in the New Town offer a more modern vibe.
I shot a lot more clips than photographs but here are some pics.
