Poolbeg Chimneys - Dublin Ireland

            Iconic...  that is what they are. The poolbeg chimneys are a part of Dublin and are among the tallest structures in Ireland. They are also visible from most of Dublin city. Number 1 chimney is 207.48m (680 ft 9in) high. Number 2 chimney is 207.8m (681 ft 9in) high. 

The chimneys can be seen in the beginning of the video for the U2 song Pride (In The Name Of Love).
Dublin City Councillor and historian Dermot Lacey began a process to list the chimneys for preservation to safeguard their future after the Station was to close in 2010. This was however refused by the Council Planning Department. Nevertheless, they were listed as protected structures in July 2014.

Seen here on a cold day in January 2000 from Booterstown are both chimneys while a flock of seagulls are flying away...

De - voor Dublin zo typische - schoorstenen van de Poolbeg energiecentrale werden op een koude dag in januari 2000 vanuit Booterstown gefotografeerd. Inmiddels zijn de schoorstenen sinds 2010 buiten gebruik. Sinds 2014 zijn ze echter beschermd en kunnen niet meer afgebroken worden...

Die über 200 Meter hohe Schornsteine des Poolbeg Kraftwerk sind ein Teil Dublins. Sie mögen zwar seit 2010 nicht mehr benutzt werden, stehen bleiben werden sie auf jedem Fall (seit 2014 sind sie geschützt). 
Im Video "Pride" von U2 sind die Schornsteine gleich am Anfang zu sehen...
