Caught this shot walking out of the Temple Bar district one evening on the way back to the hotel. Although on the surface one might think that it doesn't really show much, it is a pretty good insight into a very common part of Irish culture (no, I'm not talking about the Jameson Irish Whisky cask in the front). As I mentioned in this photograph it is quite common--especially in rural areas--that the pub actually holds down multiple services, usually bar and hardware store, but for some villages even more. Here you can see the hardware portion on the left and the bar portion on the right. Dublin, Ireland.

The Irish have learned not to sweat the small stuff. Smart. Good catch there, Ted. Looking forward to more (I wear green much of the time, not just on St. Paddy's Day), since my maternal grandfather's name was Harper, very Irish. Besides what's going on inside the shop, I find the detailing outside--the cornices on either side of the shop's name board and the andiron-looking bar bottoms on the window railings at the top--to be quite unique and in keeping with the nature of the country you're touring. If you see some more cool architecture, could you share it, please? Go raibh maith agat!

Oh I like this one Ted, and I think it would be cool to go inside and have a sip or two, and check what they have. BTW I have some Irish in me as well. tigs=^..^=
