Christchurch Cathedral belongs to the Church of Ireland, but is officially also the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Dublin. Though the building was lost to the Church of Ireland during the Reformation, the Vatican never revoked its status as a cathedral. St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral serves the function of a Catholic cathedral.

Chuck > Our flight arrived in Dublin very early the morning of March 15, before much was open, so just we walked around Dublin for a while. This is the Ha'penny Bridge over the River Liffey.

Usability note: the "style" pull-down menu on the upper right of this page provides different options for viewing this gallery. I find the "smugmug," "all thumbs," "slideshow," and "journal" options useful in different ways.

If you're poking around the photo info, my camera was still on Eastern Daylight Time, so add four hours to the time listed there for the local time where the pictures in this gallery were taken.
