Belfast Is a Paradise

Come and meet its angels.

Belfast, the city where I rest my head, is the home of the joyrider and the petrol bomb. It's a place where rioting has its very own season. It was once the terrorism capital of the world. Belfast can be beautiful, but this beauty is unfortunately shrouded in occasional moments of madness that come in the form of bomb attacks, protests, and tensions between Catholic and Protestant communities.

Here is a basic photo summary of what Belfast really looks like—not what those stupid tourist videos will tell you.
