Ha'Penny Bridge, Dublin

Photo Information

Accepted as the symbol of Dublin, the Ha'penny Bridge (offically Wellington Bridge after the 'Iron Duke') was opened in 1816. Cast at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire in England, the bridge acquired its unofficial monniker from the toll paid to cross the river - one old half penny. The bridge was the only pedestrian bridge on the Liffey until the new Millenium bridge further up was opened in 2000.

Nice shot. The wide angle gives it good depth.

Well done from a fellow Dub!

Thanks George for your generous review, I see you also use the Sigma 17-70, this image was one of my first with the use of this lens.

I found the bridge a bit pointless, the Guinness was just as expensive on the other side

Nice shot though, I like the reflection of the yellow building and as George says the angle of view, brings back memories of a damned good holiday.

My Names Alan, and I'm a lensaholic.

Thanks Alan for comments, sorry you found the Pint so expensive, a victim of the socalled " celtic tiger ", still glad you enjoyed your holiday in Ireland .
