Back into Belfast today, first for a trip on the red bus.

Rather upmarket town hall.

One of the banks, just liked the architecture.

And again.

Wouldn’t know it, met these two on the bus. Brendan and Trish Wallace. Brendan teaches at the same school as Su, she taught their two boys at kinder, and I taught the boys at secondary school. It was one of their boys, Liam, who we met on a walking tour in Warsaw in 2015. Small world.

The clock tower, King Albert has built for his queen, Alexandria. It actually leans and is locally known as Belfast’s leaning tower.

Some more of the haunting murals from both sides of the conflict.

The gates leading up to Parliament House.

Parliament House contains 365 windows. Parliament has not sat for two years because they cannot agree on a way forward.

George Best airport.

Statue of Peace and Friendship, on Queen Elizabeth ll bridge.

Another section of the wall.

Preparing for their bonfire night which celebrates the winning of the Battle of the Boyne. There are many of these around the city and it is not uncommon for houses to be burnt down.

More murals.

Front of the gaol.

More lovely architecture.

Clock tower showing the lean.
