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.

"Double bend", sign, Belfast
A double-bend sign for traffic heading outwards along the Annadale Embankment. The foreshortening caused by the long lens creates an illusion. The first bend really is to the left.

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.
