McDonald's "World Events"

Sometime ago I received or saw this picture somewhere, unfortunately I can't remember where, so I apologize to its author.

I immediately thought that I should put it here in the blog, because it was quite funny. So I'm starting this category "McDonald's 'World Events'", where I'll put pictures like this one:



I think everyone has seen the picture in which this work is inspired. The original photo is named "Raising the flag in Iwo Jima<" and "is a historic photograph taken on February 23, 1945, by Joe Rosenthal. It depicts five United States Marines and a U.S. Navy corpsman raising the flag of the United States atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II."

So if you have pictures like this and think it should be on this blog, contribute! =)

Dublin, Republic of Ireland

From Italy to the Republic of Ireland.

These time it was a friend of mine, Pedro Vilas-Boas, that sent me these photos. He had gone in vacations to Dublin and decided to take some pictures of a local McDonald's restaurant to share with us.



Pedro told me that this restaurant is situated in the O'Connell Street, in the heart of Dublin, close to a Ireland's partial independence symbol, the building of the General Post Office.

He sent a couple more photos together with this one and this time I decided to add one more. I think it might be good to have not only the picture of the restaurant but a bit of the surrounding area, whenever possible.

And so here it is a picture of the said street:



Thank you for your contribution Pedro!

See you next time. Don't forget to send your pictures in! =)
