Reborn

Time to reflect

Belfast’s harbour district, like many around the world, went into decline along with the shipbuilding industry. I found the deserted wharfs and derelict buildings a strangely therapeutic place. Somewhere to escape the crowds. A breathing space where my thoughts were uninterrupted. Today the area is undergoing a revival, with redevelopment taking place at a steady rate. Warehouses are being transformed into trendy waterfront apartments etc. I suppose it’s part of a regeneration that on balance is a good thing. Still, part of me misses the deserted quays. Respite is found in unexpected places.
