There are so many iconic landmarks of Dublin. The Poolbeg Towers. The Spire. St.James’ Gate. All wonderful views. Maybe something different could jump out. Something people walk by everyday but may not immediately notice if it were singled out. The lampposts on the Grattan Bridge are beautifully ordained with magnificent sea horses and lamps themselves a wonder to behold. A different landmark of Dublin.
