Dreams

‘Dreams’ consists of forty large metal panels in a grid formation, which is etched with portraits of a group of children. The centre of each section, formed in glass and back-lit, will glow at night holding the dreams of 9,000 local children. The project fuses together a strong sense of our ‘metal crafting’ heritage and the spirit of our children’s ability to dream. DSD NI

I photographed this in the foyer of the Waterfront Hall last night just before attending a concert with the Ulster Orchestra (more of which later) and I really can't say what it is supposed to represent. I should have read the little plate below the poster but I was in too much of a hurry to get into the bar. Thirst before art. (c:

Art Cuisine and Rainbows in Belfast

A couple of weeks ago we had a meal in 'The Apartment' and I noticed the unusual pattern made by the shadow of the wine bottle and glasses and the railing just behind our table. Along with the white lines of the wallpaper pattern it looked to me just like a piece of modern art.

When we left the restaurant we were rewarded with the sight of a rainbow after the heavy rain ...
... which turned out to be a double rainbow. (Did somebody mention pots of gold?)
The following week on leaving another restaurant ('Giraffe' on Stranmillis Road) we were treated to yet another double rainbow.

The trees at the bottom of the street mark the boundary of Botanic Gardens.
