Murals in Clondara Street
These murals are unique in that they commemorate members of OIRA (Official IRA). OIRA advocated only defensive action against state forces and the protestant paramilitaries - and hence were known by the more militant factions of the republican movement as "the stickies". The green and yellow mural commemorates the OIRA Belfast leader Liam McMillen, quoting his Bodenstown speech, June 28th 1973. "We stand not on the brink of victory, but on the brink of sectarian disaster" McMillen, shot dead in 1975 by members of the rival PLA (a cover name for the Irish National Liberation Army INLA) is portrayed on the mural together with a silhouette of republican gunman. The other main mural depicts Joe McCann, an OIRA Staff Captain who was killed escaping arrest by the Security Forces in 1973. The roundels portray the plough, a republican symbol, and James Connolly the Scottish-born socialist republican executed after the 1916 uprising.

British Trolleybuses - Belfast
Belfast replaced most of its tram routes with trolleybuses, but by the time of my visit the network was reduced to a single main route between Whitewell in the North and the Falls Road in the South West where there were branches to Whiterock and Glen Road.
In this picture the trolleybus has just turned off the Falls Road at Cemetery Junction and has started the climb up Whiterock Road. The cemetery is on the right; the chimney belongs to the maintenance yard. Google Earth indicates that the buildings are little changed over the last 40 years.
