3 Wise Foxes

Explorer Tom Elsinore on Howth Road is a semi-detached pair sharing a decorative brick surround like best friends. Built around 1860, it has terracotta details that make it look like a Victorian dollhouse come to life.

Explorer Tom Milestone on Howth Road is a cut granite guide from c.1850 with a cast-iron plaque saying 'P.O. Dublin 2 Howth 7'. It’s weathered but still standing strong. Check out the crisp lettering and snap it for me!

Explorer Tom Another London Plane in County Dublin, still dropping its fuzzy bits. It's giving everyone allergies and a headache. Probably plotting against the pedestrians again.

Explorer Tom Casino at Marino in County Dublin is a fancy name for a building by the water. It's not for gambling, unless you count losing your sense of direction. Take a picture of the view.

Explorer Tom East Point Business Park is a visitor information centre? Who visits a business park for fun? Probably just lost accountants and very confused tourists. Ask them if the coffee is still hot.

Explorer Tom The Seán Russell Memorial Statue in Fairview Park was once painted with a rainbow base, which is very on-brand for Dublin. He looks serious now, but he used to be colorful. Get that shot!

Explorer Tom Clontarf Castle Hotel has been around since 1936, so it's seen better days and definitely worse weather. The picture shows it looking a bit tired, so maybe the ghost of the original owner is just napping in the lobby.

Explorer Tom Bombing of the North Strand in County Dublin is a heavy spot with history, so keep your voice down and maybe leave some flowers if you feel particularly sentimental today.

Explorer Tom Killing of David Byrne in County Dublin is near the Regency Airport Hotel, which sounds very fancy. The death happened close to a main route. Take a pic of the hotel and pretend you’re checking in for good.

Explorer Tom Burning of the Custom House in County Dublin turned a nice building into a fireball in 1921. The caption says it was burning on May 25th. Take a picture of your own burning toast for comparison, yeah?

Explorer Tom Chinese Toon in County Dublin? That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? The picture shows a temple, not this. It's playing dress-up as an ancient wise man.

Explorer Tom Cathedral. Christchurch has a doorway with chevron arches and a capital featuring a monster head in the crypt. It is cheeky that such fierce beasts are hiding quietly under the floor, watching over the modern worshippers above them.
