After exiting the Lindsay Hill entrance I made my way along North Street as far as the Bridge Bar where I then crossed at the end of Water Street at its junction with Kildare Street.   All the streets were very dark and weird looking, with a distinct lack of traffic both of the pedestrian and vehicular variety.  It was almost like looking down a very long dark tunnel.

The appearance of the streets were so very different as to what they were like earlier on that same day; what with the Scarva parade returning home and the place swamped with people!  There was also a large contingent of Police and Military personnel present earlier on that day.   When I was out and about that day I captured some of the ongoing activity with my trusty Polaroid camera.
