taken 7 years ago, near to Ranelagh, Dublin, Ireland

St Stephen's Green is a city centre public park and square in Dublin. The current landscape of the park was designed by William Sheppard. It was officially opened to the public on 27 July 1880 by Lord Ardilaun. The park is adjacent to one of Dublin's main shopping streets, Grafton Street, and to a shopping centre named for it, while on its surrounding streets are the offices of a number of public bodies as well as a stop on one of Dublin's Luas tram lines. It is often informally called Stephen's Green. At 22 acres, it is the largest of the parks in Dublin's main Georgian garden squares. Others include nearby Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam Square.
