Handstand Dive by Billy Morrison
Billy Morrison performs a handstand dive on the 10-metre diving board at Blackrock Baths in 1967. The spectator stand can be seen in the background. The Annual Gala of the Sandycove Club was generally a two-night affair with swimming, water polo and diving. Diving featured international spring and high-board diving, as well as the ever-popular comedy and fancy dress diving performances by home and visiting divers. The local divers were led, inspired and mentored by the legendary Eddie Heron.

Horseshoe Doorway, Paddy Power, August 2006
Horseshoe Doorway, Paddy Power, August 2006
This horseshoe doorway is at Paddy Power bookmaker, Baker’s Corner, Kill O' the Grange, Co. Dublin. Paddy Power is built on the site of the former Larkin’s forge, which was there from at least 1847. When the betting shop was built, a copy of the forge entrance was included, and it is interesting to note that horses are still the main business, though in a very different way.
