I made the opportunity to take a spin on Dublin\u2019s LUAS Green Line.<\/p>\n

Pausing at Dundrum, I \u00a0made photos of the trams crossing the Dargan Bridge.<\/p>\n

The far end of the line at Brides Glen (I saw no brides) was a convenient place to make some portraits of the 5000-series LUAS Citadis tram that I\u2019d traveled on.<\/p>\n

I was one of two passengers to board on the return trip. It took the tram 39 minutes to make the run to St. Stephens Green. By time I arrived, the rain had closed in again.<\/p>\n

The LUAS trams are a silver-tinted with lilac, with large plate windows, which makes them ideal for photos at dusk. The trams reflect the hues of the evening light.<\/p>\n

I exposed these images using my Lumix LX7.<\/p>\n
