**The perfect way to see Dublin through a new lens.** 🏙️✨ **We’re teaming up with our wonderful community member,** **Angie,** for a creative afternoon stroll as we capture the soul of the city—without the digital distractions 📵. This isn't about "the 'gram"; it's about the art of looking. We’re putting our phones on aeroplane mode and picking up our cameras to focus on the lines, light, and life along the River Liffey. Angie loves capturing the hidden details of the city, and she’ll be co-hosting this walk to help us all find those perfect angles and unique perspectives. 🥾 The Route: We’ll meet at the iconic **Samuel Beckett Bridge** and wind our way down the quays. We’ll be hunting for the best angles of Dublin’s architectural gems, including the **Custom House**, **Liberty Hall**, and the historic **Ha’penny Bridge**, where we will finish our journey. * **Duration:** Approximately 2 hours. * **The Finish Line:** For those who fancy a treat and a chat, we’ll head to **Cinnamood** on O’Connell Street afterwards for some coffee and their famous cinnamon rolls! ☕️🌀 *** 📵 The Vibe: Before we set off, we’ll tuck our "connected" selves away and chat while creating art! 📸 **Build Connection:** Even though we stay offline during the walk, the connection doesn’t end there! After the event, we’ll encourage everyone to share their favourite "snaps" of the day our **WhatsApp group**. It’s a lovely way to see how everyone saw the same city through different eyes. 🖼️🤝 *** 🕰️ The Schedule: * **12:30 \|** Meet at the Samuel Beckett Bridge. * **12:45 \|** Photo Walk begins. * **14:30 \|** Arrival at Ha'penny Bridge & optional coffee at Cinnamood. *** 🐥 What to bring: * **📷 Your Camera:** Whether it’s a professional DSLR, a film camera, or just your phone (strictly for photos—no scrolling!). * **👟 Comfortable Shoes:** We’ll be on our feet for about 2 hours. * **🌦️ Rain Gear:** It’s Dublin! Let's be prepared for all four seasons. * **💛 Yourself:** No "content" creation required, just your creative eye. You can also just come to socialise, we love those walks together! *** 🎟️ Tickets & Support: This walk is **free/donation-based**. We believe offline creative time should be accessible to everyone. If you’d like to support our mission and help us organise more of these events, any contribution is warmly welcomed! 💛 **⚠️ Liability:** *Please note that everyone is responsible for their own safety and personal possessions during the walk. Let’s look out for one another!* We can't wait to see the city through your eyes! ***Please do not worry if there are not many attendees on meetup - we also host our tickets on [Luma](https://luma.com/theofflineclubdublin) \- the events always happen\!*** **Hugs, The Offline Club Dublin**
