STREET ART IN BELFAST - 26 MAY 2015
URBAN EXPRESSION IN BELFAST [26 MAY 2015]
Unfortunately I had to cancel my visits to Belfast this year [2020] and I have delayed any plans for 2021.
In 2015 I avoided, in general, photographing the "murals" as they are so frequently photographed and I concentrated on local street art which does not attract as much attention.
Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.

I USE THIS AND IT IS ALREADY FULL
One of the biggest ongoing problems that I have is storage and the problems gets worse by the year. 4 Years ago I purchased two LaCie 8TB thunder bolt drives and eighteen months later I purchased a 12TB drive and then in August of 2019 I needed a 20TB unit and it is already full. I do have an aggressive backup policy which does require a lot of storage so i suppose that I should not be surprised. I should mention that I use Amazon Photos and currently am using 12TB of online storage.
I REALLY DO NEED A SOLUTION
