It’s the people that make NI what it is, without them this place would be nothing.  So this week we feature people from all round the country doing what comes most naturally – having the craic.  There’s also a chance for some to high light causes they feel strongly about, this time different from our long associated parades and bands, a different side to our protests.  Sunshine, open spaces, hustle and bustle, nature, wherever you look it’s a country alive with colour and life!

Grass – This image at first glance probably seems normal enough, people enjoying the sunshine in Botanic gardens. On closer inspection however the image is an illusion. It is a mirrored reflection split in the middle, with the reflection of the push chair removed on one side to enforce the illusion.Grass

Market – The Hussle and bussle of the Belfast market is captured as people cause blurs past the camera as they go about their shopping.
