365 project Day 18 - Is Everything Black and White?
This photo was shot at The Black Country Living Museum.
The line of the footpath directs your eye to the narrowboat which is framed nicely by the arch of the bridge. It's only when you start to look around that you start to notice the reflections in the water; the second, partially submerged boat; the textures of the wall on the left, perhaps the sign in the shadows of the arch..
The point is.. don't take daily things around you for granted, look for the beauty in every day people, objects, scenery and shapes.
It may just prompt a smile.
Day 17 - 365 project Europa Hotel, Belfast
The Europa Hotel is a four-star hotel in Great Victoria Street, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It has hosted presidents, prime ministers and celebrities, including President Bill Clinton during his visits to Belfast in 1995 and 1998.
It is known as the "most bombed hotel in Europe" and the "most bombed hotel in the world" after having suffered 28 bomb attacks during the Troubles.

From the outside - which is a much nicer place to view a gaol from!

365 project day 14 - A bit of Belfast history
Crumlin Road Jail - now a tourist attraction!
Read more about the history of the prison here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HM_Prison_Crumlin_Road
This photo is of the tunnel which runs under the main road direct from the court house which is now standing derelict after a major fire in 2009 - read more about that here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumlin_Road_Courthouse
Allegedly.....possibly quite understandably the tunnel has the ghost of a former warden who died in the tunnel - glad the lights were on!
