Grafton Street, Dublin

     This is one of my favorite photos because it brings back memories of beginning a three week road trip around the Irish Republic. The "mall" at the end of Grafton Street (across from the entrance to Saint Stephan's Green) reminds me of the old Sutro's Baths at the Cliff House in San Francisco.  The baths have been long torn down, but it was a grand Victorian work of art. I used to go there as a youngster. This lovely building in Dublin is giant green house with shops. We had lunch at one end that looks toward the park.  Grafton Street compares to Oxford Street in London or Fifth Avenue in New York or Market Street in San Francisco.
