View of Sprangers Yard (my apartment building) with the green door, I’m on 3rd (i.e. 2nd) floor with brick facade towards the far end:
Views of the Central Plaza renovation a block over from my street:

View of Dame Ln on way to Dunnes Stores (note the construction crane in background, these seem to be everywhere in Dublin, and also the bike sharing pod):
