Lights of Dublin




"I have this thing about…." I have many sentences which might start with this phrase.  I guess many people uses this phrase as well. What does it really mean? 
I have this thing about the city lights…



 The night and the day have different lights, different shades, and different colors which makes every city own different mystical details. Here is the fairy city Dublin at night-time with its amazing colors reflecting from the River Liffey. I spent a couple of hours that night to capture a few photos which was going to please me when I look at it later. It is kind of like a cycle; pleased with the photo, remember the moment and smile. If I  am lucky enough for that particular moment, I can even have a storyteller in my head. So, this one is about Mr. Beckett..


 It was a dry Dublin evening while being unexpectedly quite around Temple Bar. Mr. Beckett was crossing the Ha`penny Bridge towards Temple bar without giving the half penny. He had a long French style coat which goes down to his shiny Oxford shoes. When he reached to the middle of the bridge, he stood up for a second and looked at the river as dark as his humour. It was not clear enough why he did sigh as the wind was noisier. While he reached the street full of pubs, an Irish man started to sing the song of Molly Malone. He did not pass by the bronze statue of Molly and he did not think of her either. Meanwhile the crowd did join to sing the song of Molly.
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow

Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
 

Surely, this famous fishmonger used to walk on this narrow cobbled street like Mr. Beckett. He only thought of a pint of Guinness supposing to chill out after the trip back from Paris. The street was quieter as he already passed the tea shop cross the temple bar...

So, Mr. Beckett kept walking around fairy Dublin until the sunrise in the story I heard.. What about your story?
