![]() musket, Very nice and informative set of pictures. That spire looks dangerous. Would be quite painful for a second coming from the sky (smile) Spire of hope - oh! Hope for what? 9/11 or 11/9 or whatever - what has that got to do with Ireland? (interoggative, concerned face expression) Yes, especially the first picture has got a compositional fulness. Nothing more desired... As usual very sharp pictures with a refreshingly restrained colour rendition Torgny |

and it's many translations from ancient textand comes from 'Matthew 19:24' whilst others might view this needle as resembling a large radio antenna broadcasting thoughts, hopes and aspirations to a world in need of guidance. Or perhaps it's non of the above and is just something unusual in an architects mind to brighten upthe skyline of Belfast...........Thanks for viewing and the comments ........... ![]() |

in architecture and design, possibly the same architects and builders were involved in their construction so there are a lot of similarities. Thanks for viewing and the comments ![]() |

![]() Btw, I should add that I also liked your #4 shot for its striking point of view, which,I think, remains the only perspective to be able to shoot the cathedral withoutits'needle' ![]() |
