Assembling Belfast City Hall - from afar  by mcsiegle

Assembling Belfast City Hall - from afar

“Visit Belfast” keeps sending me emails with suggestions on how to enjoy Belfast without actually being out and about in that city during the current circumstances (reminding me yet again of our cancelled travel plans 😢). So when a link to some virtual tours of spots of interest came up, I decided Frank and I could spend a bit of Thursday evening sampling the city — a dry run for whenever we can reschedule our trip. We started at the Belfast City Hall, and went to Queens University, the Crumlin Road Gaol, then back to City Hall, because I had figured out how to find the 360 degree shots of the inside. After that, somehow Frank hauled us out of town and over to Antrim Town. Then he got tired and went upstairs; I went on to Carrickfergus. When I had satiated my appetite for 360 degree panoramas, I discovered the jigsaw puzzles. So here I am back at City Hall — after dark. I only did a couple of simple puzzles meant for kids. Not sure if I want to devote the time to ones with 100 + pieces!
@la_photographic we stood in front of City Hall for quite a while, looking all around, but you never showed up. LOL Oh, yeah, I guess we were a couple of weeks late. 🤪

You have SO many books about Ireland, and what a clever half and half with your puzzle making screen of Irish landmarks.

Ah ha! You have given me a new site. I love online jigsaw puzzles. I've done a number of them since sheltering in place. I like to get as many pieces as I can still see on my computer monitor, which is somewhere between 600 - 700.

@randystreat oh, my gosh, Kathy! I stand in awe of the patience and persistence you must have to do ones with that many pieces. I just now went back to look again , because I remembered that the link to Visit Belfast’s puzzles led to another site. You may already be familiar with it. Here’s a link to one of the puzzles : https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=03899ae5561e

@grammyn Thanks, Katy. I could possibly do a whole month of 1/2 & 1/2 Shots with iPad and books of all types — a week at least. Though that might get a bit boring.

@mcsiegle Thank you. Somehow I saw that link. My favorite site is www.jigsawexplorer.com . Big selection and also a big selection of piece numbers. You can even use one of your own photos.
