30 days and subtracting

I have this thing about growing, and learning and just.. being better. Every day. So, I am now playing with self control. Discipline. I need it in my professional life... as I work for myself.. and being your own boss means kicking yourself in the ass on a daily basis.. and I need it personally, to conquer whatever needs to be conquered.


I have this thing about... 30 days. Changing behaviour in 30 days. Doing something for 30 days, giving up something for 30 days, taking up something for 30 days.


For my next 30 days, I will take a picture or a series of pictures of... one thing. And post it onto my blog, together with a few words.


So this is my day 1. And these are my pictures. 

And this is The Magazine Fort – In Phoenix Park – Dublin.


From Wikipedia:


The Magazine Fort in the south east of the Park marks the location where Phoenix Lodge was built by Sir Edward Fisher in 1611. In 1734 the house was knocked down when the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Lionel Sackville, 1st Duke of Dorset directed that a powder magazine be provided for Dublin. An additional wing was added to the fort in 1801 for troops. It was the scene of the Christmas Raid in 1939.


The magazine fort has been satirically immortalised in a jingle by Jonathan Swift (1667 to 1745, author of Gulliver's Travels) who proclaims:


"Now's here's a proof of Irish sense,
Here Irish wit is seen,
When nothing's left that's worth defence,
We build a Magazine."

See you tomorrow.
