Belfast at night

This is an old one from a riot in Belfast in 1989. I digitised the negative. The person being carried was hit by a plastic bullet and lived. It was raining plastic bullets.

I just happened to be driving up the Antrim Road in Belfast when it all kicked off. That was shot at 50mm f2.8 on a second generation Minolta auto focus camera. Shows how good the AF was 37 years ago. A 15 year old was killed in that riot. I was gone by that time as I had left my GF, who was over on a visit from America, in the car on the Antrim Road and I thought I shouldn't leave her there too long She got a souvenir plastic bullet.

Scary stuff, but nice capture!

A very dangerous and sad time in Ireland for sure.

Scary.
