By Amsterdam-based Irish designers Declan and Garech Stone, aka The Stone Twins

They say:

[this] is an update of an iconic John Hinde postcard photo, taken in the west of Ireland in the early 1960s. The reinvention of this image points at the transformation of Ireland from a poor backwater to the Celtic Tiger, and to its debt-ridden, yet resilient, current state. It also celebrates the obsession of today’s youth with shopping, brands, online-connectivity and non-stop music.

Belfast Zoo are celebrating the arrival of the first Western lowland gorilla to be born at the zoo in 16 years.

The little one needs a name and you can help by voting on the zoo’s Facebook page.

Your choice is from the following:

Geoffrey
Baako (which means ‘first born child’)
Kwame (which means ‘Saturday’s child’)
Mango
Goliath (gorillas are the largest primate)
Babatunde (which means ‘return of the father’)

Are Belfast Zoo trying to tell us something?

FIGHT!

A little miracle arrives at the gorilla house (Belfast Zoo)
