River Lagan from Queen's Bridge with impressive re-generation in the last 20-30 years, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

                                                                                                      Commentary.

Belfast was named after the Béal Feirste or Farset River.
This original river has since been
diverted under the present High Street
and superseded by the River Lagan,
seen in this image from the Queen’s Bridge.

Visiting here in 2012, it was such a relief
to enjoy Belfast and Northern Ireland
without the terrible sectarian violence
and killing that had blighted the Province since 1969.

Ireland is a beautiful country, with 
wonderful, creative and inspirational people.
Like all parts of the world,
it deserves so much more than the cruel,
sad embitterment that raged for so many years.

Belfast deserves massive investment as do so many 
former heavy industry cities.
It was so good to see so many 21st. century
developments like the Waterfront Hall
and Lanyon Place as shown in this image.

There is hope for the future,
and long may it last.
I, for one, will visit this splendid
island many times in the future!
