Out and About

Finally moved my butt and walked around a very changed Belfast. Was here in 97'. Lots of new metal and glass buildings which contrast the old sandstone ones. The Titanic Museum is a spectacular piece of modern architecture. Spent about 3 hours walking and taking pictures with the Canon G15. After, a pint at McHugh's. Then back to the apartment where I had to climb 12 flights of stairs because the elevator was being worked on.  May I just say all my hiking paid off till the 10th floor when I had to stop and catch my breath. Damn it to hell!  Here are some of my favorite images of a day in Belfast.
The Titanic Museum from the patio off the guest bedroom in Bernie's penthouse apartment.  Took MANY pictures of this fascinating building. These are my favs. 
Old and New. This whole area used to be shipyards. Some of it still is but a great deal has be re developed.  
The Titanic Studios are here. Presently occupied by Game of Thrones.
From here I walked along the river capturing images.
This is where I had lunch. St. George's Market Place.  The fish seller was having beef as well
 The photo below was a point and shoot and tell you the truth I had no clue of the exact image until I uploaded it.  Have no idea what the man was eating but I don't think he liked it!!!
It's all about the harp!
 And these kids were the cutest couple so I snapped them.
Nice day out.

The photo at the Red Lion looks like all the others ones you have taken from there. Mine included.
