Friday was International Yoga Day and it was celebrated in Dublin at Grand Canal Square yesterday.
A group of us out for a walk came upon the Yoga celebration as we arrived at our destination.
The walk began at St Luke's Hospital in Rathgar.
We followed the River Dodder through Milltown, Clonskeagh, down to Donnybrook, through Herbert Park, passing Marian College and then skirting along the side of the Aviva Stadium, leaving Ringsend to our right.
The spot where the Dodder flows into the Liffey is interesting as right beside it the Grand Canal also enters the great Dublin river.
After a snack we retraced our steps to St Luke's.
The round trip was 14.3 kilometres and the distance covered in two hours 50 minutes.
A walk that takes in a myriad scenes: the great red and white stacks of the now defunct generating station at the Pigeon House. There's the Aviva but most of the walk is in lush green countryside.
A fabulous facility right in the city.
