The Half-Moon SC.

This is another picture of the Half-Moon SC. On the South Wall of Dublin Harbour. There is a red lighthouse half a mile further on. On the left you have a priest caught el flagrant e with his trousers off. The 2 alter boys are holding up towels to screen his particulars from the rude gaze of the other bathers but a lady has snuck up on them all. She even got past Hellfire, the priest's dog. The wall was constructed by convicts at a time in Irish history when it was easy for an Irishman to be a convict in his own land. The images you see in the flagstones are not there in real life but represent the spirits of those convicts forced into slave labor for some petty offense against the English rule of law.
