Monumental Crop

Or Testimonial Clip!

On March 10, 2015, I was at my old favorite location at ‘the box’ along the St. Johns Road in Dublin looking down at Islandbridge Junction.

I’d been waiting for locomotive 084 to come around leading a permanent way train.

The lighting conditions were perfect. The train came to a stop in front of me. I made a burst of photos with my Fujifilm XT1. And somehow I ended up with substandard images.

In one view, I’d held the camera off-level, in most of the others I’d committed a Phoenix Park Faux Pas by clipping the top of the Wellington Testimonial—that enormous obelisk otherwise known as ‘the monument’.

I don’t always get it right but I thought I’d share this pair of flawed photos as a lesson in paying attention.

The monument appears to be leaning to the right.
And here I chopped the top off. Poor Show!
