Hey there my Steemit friends! In this "Real Life Captured Series" I do my best to bring you exactly that; the real life captured from destinations all around the world! After twelve years of travel experience my favorite thing to do is walk around! That's right, I simply like to go to foreign countries and walk around. I observe (and now photograph) the people, food, culture, way of everyday life and bring it to you in this "Real Life Captured Series".

Here we find ourselves in Belfast Ireland, technically the United Kingdom, being northern Ireland. The Irish from this part of the country use the British Pound, they travel freely to all of Ireland and the UK, and can have both an Irish Passport and UK passport.

That being said, culturally this is 100% Ireland. The thick Irish accent was a pleasure to get used to. The culture of fighting, drinking, and all things lucky and green was a real trip after spending most of the past year in South America. The Irish are no nonsense people, and frankly I was a bit intimidated to really "capture" people in my candid style of photography.

On more than one occasion I found myself having to apologize; "Are you taking a photo of me?" I almost got beaten up by a 10 year old boy who was helping an old lady across the street as I saw real life pass me by! On another occasion a candid photo turned into a group photo of some teenagers flicking me off! The Irish are a tough crowed but also full of love and full of life. Now come along and let's see what I've got in this latest group of Real Life Captured photo's in Belfast Ireland!

Go figure, this is one of cloudiest, dreariest places in the world 95% of the year. But being Travel Pro I knew to come in July, and was treated to the best weather they've had in five years according to one local.

This is one of two climate controlled indoor botanical gardens in the main public park in the southern part of the city.

I couldn't help but notice how green the grass was, all the vegetation in this country this time of year seemed to be vibrantly green!

It seemed like ice-cream trucks were everywhere!

Irish people walking down Donegall Pass!

There was lots of great architecture and historic buildings in Belfast.

I think I saw this advertisement on about 20 different billboards during my week's stay.

With only a quarter million people, Belfast is a great walking city.

Common Traffic

When you're in a cool bug convertible, nobody cares when you drive up onto the sidewalk.

With over 12 years of travel experience I answer travel and international lifestyle questions. Leave a question in the comments and I may make a Steemit post just for you!
