BEDFORD LANE
Today I had lunch at the Hungry Mexican on Aston Quay and a customer told me that there were some street artist in action in Bedford Lane behind the restaurant. After I finished my lunch I decide to visit the lane only to discover that there were no street artists bet there were many young volunteers from Starbucks painting the walls and cleaning the lane and they were really enjoying themselves. As far as i can remember I was offered a free meal the next time I visit the nearest Starbucks.
The images are not as good as I would have liked because I was using a really small RX0 camera.
As you may all know Sony announced a new camera the HX99 so before I wend home I visited Connscameras to see if they had any details but while I was there I discovered that they were offering the HX90V at Euro 389 before the Euro 90 cashback was applied. As this camera has GPS I decided to purchase it. I did not realise that it does not shoot RAW which is a bit of a pain and to be honest I suspect that the GPS might not be effective ... I will let you know within the next few days.
Bedford lane is part of a large block between Aston Quay and Fleet Street near the eastern end of Temple Bar. You might know this lane from the ‘Icon Walk’ outdoor gallery, which starts on Prices Lane, runs west along Adair Lane, across Aston Place and through Bedford Lane. This walk features large murals on Irish cultural icons from music, poetry, literature, movies and sports, with artwork contributed for free by local artists. Bedford Lane attracts a lot of anti-social behaviour, however the colourful Icon Factory shop on the corner with Aston Place and the murals of Irish icons like Luke Kelly, Seamus Heaney and Abraham Stoker invite people to stroll through this forgotten lane.
