St Patrick's Day Festival 2004
Dublin, Ireland

Travelling fairs exist all over the world, but Dublin is probably the only place in the world where rides are set up on main streets in the City Centre. Two midways are usually set up:
- Custom House on the bank of the River Liffey. This is relatively easy to photograph because one need simply stand on the other side of the river.
- Merrion Square in the south city centre. It is very difficult to get far enough back from the rides here, as they take up the entire roadway. What is not immediately obvious, though, is that Merrion Square is also the location of the Irish Government Buildings, which are to the right of the Ferris Wheel in the photograph below.
