The Old Lifting Bridge, Financial Services area, Dublin

This painting, done in the late 80's on site, shows the old mechanical lifting bridge juxtaposed against the new city outline taking shape in the distance - tall glass 'skyscrapers' that started a whole renovation of buildings along the north side of the river Liffey. The lifting bridge, (I don't know if it has a special name), is still there, but I don't think it's operational now for manys the year.
