I love it when someone has first hand information about the subject of a card, and it's especially excellent to have it dated.<br /><br />Linda, yes, I noticed the lady and her dress too.

Like the Hill of Crosses and the Mail Boat, it reminds me of a time when things were interesting. It seems as if the whole world is covered in aluminum siding....everything is starting to look alike. The postcards are wonderful.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201759918154593244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-2200394024856264522010-06-23T00:07:47.415+01:002010-06-23T00:07:47.415+01:00I actually live in Dun Laoghaire, and posted some ...I actually live in Dun Laoghaire, and posted some photos from a very similar location to this just a few days ago here : http://www.frankcourtney.com/blog/<br /><br />The pier where the boat is tied up - called Carlisle Pier - still exists, but all the buildings on it were demolished recently by the council.
