Earlier this week we traveled to Derry/Londonderry (depending on who you are). This historic city brought new perspective on the Troubles because of the intense history of conflict and rebellion in the city.

A mural depicting the hunger and no wash strikes in the prisons during the Troubles. We met the artists at their studio later in the day.
A view of the Bogside from the walled portion/fort of Derry.
The walls of the city that were built during the plantation of loyal English and Scottish persons.
A mural of Guernica on the Bloody Sunday Museum, which is situated on the parking lot where several innocents were shot down running from Paratroopers.
Oak trees are the symbol of Derry, which comes from the Gaelic work for Oak tree.
Loyalist propaganda in a walled neighborhood.
Bloody Sunday memorial.
