Title: Belfast City 17-03-14
Post by: casper on March 17, 2014, 07:58:33 PM

Haven't been to an airport in months so had a few hours to myself this afternoon so headed down to the city. Not a lot happening but got these two which I quite like.

Cool!  The Aer Lingus one is particularly moody.

The rig in the background of the shots is the Blackford Dolphin, now operated by a Norwegian company:

I was down near the City airport at lunchtime today whilst Mrs Smudge violated the No-Ikea rule.

Unfortunately I was down at the Ikea car park and the 22 threshold which was the 'wrong' end for today, I really wanted some clean-up-the-gear shots.
