Autumnal Irish Scene.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In October, Ireland doesn\u2019t normally experience whole hillsides of brilliant red and orange autumnal foliage like in eastern North America, but the trees do get a bit rusty, and when the sun comes out it offers a pleasant mix softened pastels and bright colors.<\/p>\n

\"LUAS<\/a>

On October 10, 2010, I was on my way over to Wexford Street for an Irish friend\u2019s farewell party, when I exposed this sequence of images on James\u2019s Street. It shows a LUAS Red Line tram taking the corner on its way to the Red Cow<\/a> from the city center. I was using my Canon EOS 7D with 28-135mm lens. The yellow tinged trees and hazy sun is characteristic of Autumn in Dublin, when it\u2019s not raining. The LUAS Red Line<\/a> just recently celebrated its 9th<\/sup> birthday, having opened for traffic in September 2004.<\/p>\n

My YouTube Video, ‘A Tram Called LUAS<\/a>‘ has received more than 4000 views. If you haven’t seen it, take a look! Please give me a ‘thumbs up\/like’ if you enjoy it. Thanks!<\/p>\n
