If you live in or work near our capital here in Ireland, you've probably seen this already, but there's a pretty great Christmas Market in Dublin City at the moment. The market runs along the north side of Stephen's Green, and, I have to say, is very impressive. The stands run practically the full length of the green and consist of everything from food, and sweets to hand made gifts and other trinkets.
This is the first year it's been run, and apparently it's a great success. When I first heard about it I was prepared to be sceptical, but I've been to Christmas markets in a few european cities, including Brussels and Vienna, and the Dublin one can hold its own. Here are some photos that I took a little while ago of the market on a sunny weekday morning. Taken with a Fuji X-E1.
I spent a couple of days over the past week out shooting some Autumn photographs for both my library and for a video I wanted to make. As I’ve said on this blog many, many times, Autumn is my favourite time of the year. Everywhere just explodes with colour, and the light at this time of the year is fantastic too, when it’s actually sunny, of course. You end up with a warm golden light for much of the morning, and it makes everything look that much more inviting and cosy.
