Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
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!
Belfast in one photo. Irish people, Irish Pub, Traditional Irish architecture, and even an Irish Black Taxi Cab!
A historic street next to a historic bar around 9pm with the sun still up.
American Candy in Ireland!
I probably saw a dozen "Turkish Barber Shops" during my week in Belfast.
Just read the sign on the bus!
This is a funeral home that is over 150 years old! Historic Clifton Graveyard which I'll have a series on is just down the road.
I think they've told us everything we need to know.
It's around 10:30 a night. In July the sun is still up and people are still working.

And let's not forget this photo I used to start the series. Lacking one photo to have a complete set of 10 we revisit the Irish youth to end this real life captured series. For those who follow and support my blog. THANK YOU!
