Phoenix Park Cross Dublin Ireland livingroom right before Christmas

right before Christmas

And I had gotten my shot

but you would never know it was the 21st century by the looks of the nostalgia-lined rows of houses of brick and wood

I'd just come off a long day of work n my art gallery

I drove up and down this stretch of road a few times to no avail

Phoenix Park Cross Dublin Ireland livingroom right before ChristmasPhoenix Park is the huge natural park in the middle of Dublin, similar to Central Park of New York City of Hyde Park in London. Phoenix Park is the largest urban park in a European capital city. Pope John Paul II delivered Mass to a crowd of around 1. 25 million people at Dublin's Phoenix Park in September 1979. That was greater than the total population of Dublin at the time! This cross was built to commemorate this visit. I shot this late at night
