Day 44, 45, 46, 47, and 48 Pictures

The yard of Christchurch Cathedral in the early morning mist.

A reliquary supposedly containing a saint's heart.
The lectern I mentioned, with holes drilled through its wings. It's also unique for being made of brass.

The English royal seal and two wooden statues of Charles I and Charles II, found hidden in the crypts of Christchurch after the Reformation.

The usual Dublin weather.

A fun bumper sticker for Sinn Fein, the republican party.

The front of the General Post Office. The building is mostly new, as the original was shelled to bits by the British.

The organ of Saint Michin's, upon which Handel was said to have practiced his Messiah.

Collins Barracks, now the Museum of Design.

The industrial area of Dublin along the river Liffey at dusk.

The Irish seaside beside Bray.

The apparently-historical ruined building I mentioned.

Another shot of the Irish coast, this one showing the cliffs.

The hills of Ireland were blanketed in this yellow-brown plant matter.

A Dublin sunset.

Some graffiti inside Kilmainham Gaol.

One of the cells in the older section of the prison.

The eastern wing, or panopticon prison.

A cell inside the eastern wing.

The place where James Connolly was executed by firing squad.
