A block of apartments facing the Annadale Embankment. To the layman it appears to be complete but is, apparently, unoccupied.

Holywood Exchange bus, Belfast
There is an hourly (off-peak) service (no 29) from Howard Street to the Holywood Exchange shopping centre. It runs via a devious route which includes Annadale, Mount Merrion, The Braniel, Dundonald, Stormont and the Old Holywood Road. This is the 11.40 on the Annadale Embankment. The journey is booked to take a staggering 71 minutes. Good value for those on a one-day ticket.

"The Embankment", Belfast (November 2015)
Time for another look at this now-forgotten victim of the recession. The undeveloped part of the site (now being taken over by nature) is behind the graffiti-covered hoarding.

Alder buckthorn berries, Annadale, Belfast (August 2019)
I think these are ripening alder buckthorn berries, on a tree, among the rowans, between the Annadale Embankment and the Lagan.
If so they are rare throughout the whole of Ireland. NI distribution here http://www.habitas.org.uk/priority/species.asp?item=3200 and the whole island here http://www.wildflowersofireland.net/plant_detail.php?id_flower=636&wildflower=Buckthorn,%20Alder
DO NOT EAT - the berries are very dangerous and can cause internal bleeding.

Puddle, Annadale Embankment, Belfast - November 2014(1)
The recent heavy rain (especially overnight) had left this large puddle (much deeper on the left) at the bridge end of the lay-by on the Annadale Embankment.

"The Embankment" advertising, Belfast (August 2014)
Some of the advertising, on the hoarding around the undeveloped part of the abandoned “Embankment” development, is missing. Some has faded. This one reminds us of the good old days.

Rowan berries, Annadale, Belfast - August 2019(1)
It might be my imagination but 2019 seems to be a very good year for rowan berries. These trees are between the Annadale Embankment and the Lagan.
