A Few Pictures Here of My Trip to Dead-End Belfast.

Catholic Hungerstriker Bobby Sands, MP.,
(1954-1981). He starved himself to death at
age 27 and was, and still is, an hero among
the working-class Republican community.
Myself at the Sinn Fein/Irish Republican Army's
"Garden of Remembrance" at Belfast's Falls Road.

Street Vendor Monika, 21, from Romania,
at University Road near Belfast Queen's
University. She sells "Ireland's Issues,"
published at Dublin and sold by street
people throughout the two Irelands. Many
of the women I saw selling "Issues" were
Romanian young women gypsies.
"The Provos" are seen here on one of many
wall murals scattered all over Belfast from the
Catholic Falls Road to Protestant Donegall Pass. A recent feature at Ulster has been the Belfast Wheel

set along side the old downtown Belfast City Hall. It's smaller

than the photo so deceptively makes it look alot bigger

than it really is ...

Stormont - The Northern Ireland National
Assemby - set in 365 acres of lush land on
the outskirts of Dead-End Belfast. That's
one acre of land for each day of the year ...

FAR FROM FAINT ARE THE TROUBLES OF BELFAST
