    An American In ... Dublin

    Dublin, Ireland.

    Old habits are hard to break. Captured this tourist looking the other way (NOT a political statement!)

    Thanks, Marty. I must admit, I did it as well. A bit unnerving walking up to a busy street looking the "wrong" way. I just take a quick peek the other way before looking right.

    Try driving over there with a "stick". Talk about unnatural . At least the pedals and clutch are in their correct positions!

    That's a great capture, Loupey...you've got everything there...lol. You've got the writing on the street, the guy looking the wrong way, about to get plowed into by the truck, and the woman looking at him, looking the right direction...

    I like it.

    Hummm! - Just cause you lot drive on the wrong side - must make your heads go funny, because the chap is looking right just like the sign says on the floor and in Ireland the right way. The lady is looking the wrong way.

    The truck is turning right into the street past the bollard in the middle of the road just over the ladys rucksack.

    Is it me! but I'm more concerned with where is hand is, it doesn't look natural.

    Excellent observation, Roger. As for the hand, your RIGHT - it does seem be a little unnatural . I really LOL when I read your comment. Thanks for making me look at it in a different way.

    By the way, he was a local.
