St. Stephen's Green

Here are a couple images of St. Stephen's Green, a big park right downtown. It has some lovely scenes, and on a sunny day every flat surface is covered with people sunbathing.
The pond is very charming, and houses some cute ducks (and ducklings) and some rather awful seagulls--I saw one of the gulls try to steal a duckling for lunch! Fortunately, the parent ducks fought valiantly for their offspring and were victorious.
There are lots of flowerbeds, and even more were being planted when I walked through today. The whole place is very well maintained, as you can see.
