Hey there my Steemit friends! In this "Real Life Captured Series" I do my best to bring you exactly that; the real life captured from destinations all around the world! After twelve years of travel experience my favorite thing to do is walk around! That's right, I simply like to go to foreign countries and walk around. I observe (and now photograph) the people, food, culture, way of everyday life and bring it to you in this "Real Life Captured Series".
Here we find ourselves in Belfast Ireland, technically the United Kingdom, being northern Ireland. The Irish from this part of the country use the British Pound, they travel freely to all of Ireland and the UK, and can have both an Irish Passport and UK passport.
That being said, culturally this is 100% Ireland. The thick Irish accent was a pleasure to get used to. The culture of fighting, drinking, and all things lucky and green was a real trip after spending most of the past year in South America. The Irish are no nonsense people, and frankly I was a bit intimidated to really "capture" people in my candid style of photography.
On more than one occasion I found myself having to apologize; "Are you taking a photo of me?" I almost got beaten up by a 10 year old boy who was helping an old lady across the street as I saw real life pass me by! On another occasion a candid photo turned into a group photo of some teenagers flicking me off! The Irish are a tough crowed but also full of love and full of life. Now come along and let's see what I've got in this latest group of Real Life Captured photo's in Belfast Ireland!
These black taxis are actually quite famous and give tours of the city. Not all the taxis here look like this.
Real Life Captured!
Tesco is the main supermarket chain in this part of the world, they seem to do it all.
This place reminds me of, ummmmmm.....Brooklyn.
A common barber shop menu here in Belfast.
There are a lot of immigrants in this city that shop here for the halal food.
KFC open until four AM on a street loaded with bars and night clubs.
A fixer upper! in a great location.
This photo was Taken on Sandy Row, a street in the historically and still today heavily pro UK protestant neighborhood. Where the Catholics would never have a sign like this; they want full Irish independence.
