Ha’Penny Bridge, the River Liffey, Dublin, Ireland
What weird script is this,
scribbled grey across the sky—
a Gaelic lovesong?

Beautiful photograph
Great photo! I have been there, but I did not spend half-a-penny crossing it…
Have a nice evening!
great shot!
I’m willing to hear that love song!
What a lovely haiku. Well written!
Fint bilde:))
Very beautiful photo for SWF!Thank you for sharing and have a nice weekend!
A very lovely silver grey scene! This river’s name is the name of the hamlet where I lived in Tasmania for a couple of years.
A lovely, silvery scene indeed! Beautiful capture for the day! Hope you have a great weekend! Good to see you back online!
The verse and the picture perfectly complement each other!!
Always good to read you, Teacherman!
So clean and lovely. Gives me peaceful feeling.
Love the little splashes of colour.
Beautiful, romantic words and a lovely view!
Wierd script….definately it is…but still the take decides…picture goes well with your words..:)
Not quite the same as the desert love songs your skies usually sing!
Gray skies can be beautiful in their own way too. Thanks for sharing.
