Dance by Candlelight

Belfast is an amazing city for street art. I caught this 2012 mural by Irish artist Conor Harrington in the Cathedral Quarter during our recent stop in the city. The work is titled the Duel of Belfast, Dance by Candlelight, interpreted as a metaphor on the city's past and present.

I had a free afternoon to capture some of the well known murals in the Cathedral Quarter. The Visit Belfast street art map (linked above) was really helpful for spotting some of these during my walk.

One other note, riding Irish Rail from Dublin's Connolly Station to Belfast was super easy and I'll definitely think about doing that again on a future Ireland trip.
