@NLIreland The same view today. Such a shame to have lost the railways

Did you know there's a livestream camera from the middle of Galway Bay where you can watch marine drama 24/7? And it's not just fish! @smartbay_ie
I'm hooked!

The blue green algae taken from Toome. I did not realise how bad it was until I put my drone up. 😥

@ireland_society Great photo. Almost unrecognisable, only two buildings in this photo remain.

[modelcitizen.ie @modelcitizenirl]

@BrndnStrssng @ManMadeMoon Yesterday “Run Lola Run” came to mind and I decided to check if we had been near any of the filming locations. Turns out the ornate apartment block was where her apartment was located.

[modelcitizen.ie @modelcitizenirl]

@BrndnStrssng @ManMadeMoon A weird coincidence happened recently. I was in Berlin for the first time last week. We did some aimless meandering as you do on a city break. Passed a random ornate apartment block in the Mitte district, decided to have a nosy and took some photos.

@Gilleeece Congratulations Emma

[modelcitizen.ie @modelcitizenirl]

@sparks_stirling I knew I recognised this building from somewhere. Used in Lock, Stock and Two smoking barrels.

[modelcitizen.ie @modelcitizenirl]

They can be mix and matched with the Welbeck and BNP Paribas Fortis pieces.
