View from Nelson's Pillar (now demolished). Dublin 1963.

A high-angle view from Dublin's now-demolished Nelson's Pillar in 1963, where a large shadow cuts diagonally across the street. The rear of a double-decker bus, bound for Palmerston Park, is visible in the shade, its advertisements for milk and "CONFIDENCE" still legible. In the sunlit portion below, pedestrians cast long, distinct shadows from the low-angled sun. The high perspective flattens the scene, emphasizing the graphic patterns created by the figures on the textured asphalt.
