1. Dolphin House, Dolphins Barn, with the Grand Canal flowing by.
2. Grove Road Flats, Harolds X, again beside the Grand Canal. They are just called by the name of the Road the numbers of the flats are in sequence to the numbers of the other buildings on the road.
3. Whelan House, Ringsend with the Dodder River about to enter the Liffey.
4. I'm surprised this was the only one not answered. It is Ballybough House taken from Luke Kelly Bridge with the Tolka River being the stretch of water.__________________________________________

Visiting graveyards is not necessarily a morbid activity. They are a resource of historical and social interest. Glasnevin Cemetery, for example, has a brand new Museum, Record Section, Restaurant and excellent Guided Tours. You can pass quite a few interesting hours if you plan your visit properly. Here follows images of four graves that have historical and social interest. I would like to think that when I depart this life maybe someone occasionally might look at my gravestone and say ' yes I remember that chap'.
1.Liam Whelan Manchester United player killed in the Munich air disaster.
2.Luke Kelly of the Dubliners, a man with a fantastic voice.
3.Charles Stewart Parnell a patriot who did a lot for the ordinary Irish man by peaceful means. Destroyed by hypocrisy and ignorance.
4.Daniel O'Connell, 'The Liberator'.__________________________________________

It's a very enjoyable thread. To add to it, it would be great to see everyone (or as many as can) upload photos of familiar places from unfamiliar angle.'Never look down on a person unless you're helping them up'.
