Underground: missed my stop....

.......you know how it is, we have all done, you've had a couple too many beers or focused on the programme your watching on your iPad or concentrating on playing sudoku and before you know it you have missed your stop.

So there I was on the tube heading east, had 30 winks because I want a bit tired and needed a quick nap and the next thing I knew I had missed my station and ended up in Dublin....how do these things keep happening to me.

While I was there I thought that it would be rude not to stay for a couple of days and sample the local delight, namely Guinness and oysters (unless I can also find somewhere that makes a nice mojito....

In all seriousness though I have been wanting to blip this statue for a long time, it was something that caught my eye of my last brief trip so I to come back for it.

It was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.

I will have to clean up the photo a bit to really do it justice when I get back, I took my camera which has been sat in a box for months and it looks like the sensor and mirror needs a clean.

P.s. anyone who knows me won't be surprised where I have been today
