Cement Truck (Out Of Picture)
But someone has brazenly painted ‘TRY’ on the road. The brand new Google Streetview of Kildare Street. Not unlike Joe’s view.

Earlier this summer, advertising copywriter Adele Enerson started what she called a ‘maternity-leave project’: designing 2-D ‘dream scenes’ around her baby daughter Mila while she slept, photographing and posting the resulting ‘tableaux’ on her blog, Milas Daydreams.
