Some Pictures of Dublin

Here are some pictures of Dublin that I took this summer, so that you can get an idea of the novel's setting. Granted, it's set in the past...but I don't think Dublin has changed all that much over the years. The First picture above is of the Halfpenny Bridge.




This next picture is taken on the Halfpenny Bridge looking east to O'Connell Bridge. I suppose I should mention that the river underneath is the River Liffey, and it is always written that way, never the Liffey River. Still not quite sure why that is, any Dubliners out there know the answer? Maybe because the gaelic translation, Abhainn na Life, puts the word 'river' in front of the noun.



This picture is of the North side entrance to the Halfpenny Bridge. This hopefully will give a better visual image when reading my last post.
