“In Dublin fair city, where girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone”, or so the song goes. Well, having seen the city and its girls, I can confidently tell you Molly probably wasn’t the sweetest of gals; my guess would be the songwriter had been boozing at least several days, because its nightlife… don’t get me started: it really is that good. By the way, the exhibition is continuing beyond July 15 in Dublin’s café of the Alliance Française.

You might have seen this image before if you’re a careful reader of this blog or an art collector, as this particular photo titled “Rue de Grenelle, rain #1” is gaining fame (read a nice review of it in Dutch; several prints left for sale). From 2 to 15 July it is on display in Dublin where the French Embassy invited “27 talented photographers, representing each of the 27 member states of the Union, to share with us their vision of France” – details can be found here.
