The story behind the image
Reflections. I like them as they can provide an additional unique and unusual angle to an otherwise well-known building. This reflection is The Customs House (Teach an Chustaim) in Dublin, Ireland. The windows belong to the former building of the Ulster Bank Group which has been entirely renovated in 2022 and 2023. The affected the glass front which got a different look with more concrete and less glass.
The Custom House has a long history and is home to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage today. A visitor experience center shows the building, burning and restoration of the structure across its long history.
A nice reflection.
P.S.: One might think that the image is out of focus. It isn’t. The focus point is on the dome and not the windows reflecting the dome.
