hanging around 'molly malone'

[marie]

:confused:

not sure some will like this 'painting effect'

the picture was taken on the same day as the river shots in other posts
the 'monument' shows 'molly malone' a legendary fish monger who lived in dublin many years ago

it's situated near Grafton Street in the city
(Trinity College railings are opposite)



sometimes people take a short rest ..sitting close to her for a few minutes
some even have a quick lunch
:)

not too easy to get a shot as people are passing all the time.
coming and going ,as it is in cities
:cool:

thanks

I like it. The painting effect works well and doesn't take anything away from the photo, IMO.

Molly would like this photo!
I think the effect does this print justice.

In Dublin's fair city,
where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheel'd her wheel barrow
Thro' streets broad and narrow

(Chorus)
Crying "Cockles and Mussels alive, alive O!"
Alive, alive O! Alive, alive O
Crying Cockles and Mussels Alive, alive O!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Ya done her justice Marie, wonderful photo, wonderful effect

[automata]

Is it true some locals refer to this statue as the "tart with the cart"?
Nice picture and effect BTW.

yes

good for you:)

another monument outside the G.P.O on O'Connell Street was removed eventually

it used to be named 'the floozy in the jacuzzi' :lol: :lol: :lol:

a stiff lady (statue) was shown lying (relaxing) in the water (with long flowing hair)
but after a good night out some lads used to . :o into it ,
and on top of her.

:shock:
all (of the monument) was removed

at a cost I expect
it was a bad idea anyway. whoever thought of it in the first place.
it was something to replace the space of the blown up Nelson's Pillar nearby
( blown up in the early '60's )


thanks
:lol:

as you probably know the other verse of the song kills Molly off

'she died of a fever and no one could save her
and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone:(

now her ghost wheels her barrow
through street's broad and narrow
singing cockles and mussels alive alive o'

:rolleyes:

[marie]

Nice shots and effects.. Very nice.
thanks a lot Candid Bandit
