Well done Dublin City Council for holding a "We Love July Day" in Fairview Park. Music, performance, storytelling, art, play, discovery and a precursor to the All Ireland Senior Football Final in Croke Park between Mayo and Kerry. Cracking goal by Michael Darragh MacAuley for Mayo #GAA #FMLH

The colourising of this black and white photo from 1971 really gives a brand new impression of this location. Any thoughts or insights? #Fairview #GrandCinema #Colourised #SecretOfSantaVittoria #FMLH

How did some colorising AI software upgrade this great early 1900s photo of the Clontarf Promenade at Hollybrook Road Used 7 different apps and websites. Many other software choices available Fascinating detail emerges Gemini great job but lost some photo. Not much between ChatGPT/MetaAI #FMLH

The colourising of this image of the Fairview floods in December 1954 - when the River Tolka burst its banks during a high tide - highlights many interesting and changing features of the Fairview Marino area. St Joseph's secondary and primary schools for example #Flooding #FMLH

A very poor low quality resolution image of Edge's Corner and Fairview in 1940 has been transformered into a wonderful colourful and detailed image using AI. Fantastic to see the detail emerging. What are your observations ... #EdgesCorner #Fairview #FairviewStrand #Colourised #FMLH

You pass by it every day. You see it from the bus. That small looking but impressive building beside Ard Scoil Ris and the OBI. You don't know much about it. In fact, it's our own local architectural gem - the Marino Casino #MustVist @DublinTown @OldDublinTown #FMLH

Getting there. More work this week on the flood defences at Clontarf. Native Irish holly was planted which will eventually conceal the concrete blocks when viewed from the road. It's a good improvement. A lot of work done by Barry Heneghan TD on this. Well done also Dublin City Council #FMLH
