While in Dublin last weekend I got some shots of the newly opened Samuel Becket Bridge, joining Sir John Rogerson’s Quay on the south side of the River Liffey to Guild Street and North Wall Quay in the Docklands area.

Generally seen as one for the amateur as a way of getting into the habit of taking more photographs and ’seeing’ more photographic opportunities.
