    Belfast, Twadell street, 12th of July. In Belfast on the Twelfth there are always demonstration and clashes between Catholic and Protestants, especially in the poorest neighbourood like the one pictured. Here residents of Twadeel protest against the march of the Catolich residents from Ardoyne. by: danielasala Views[1135] Belfast, 12th of July Short Strend is a Catholic enclave in East Belfast, surrounded by the mainly Protestant and unionist neighborhood, from which it is separated by the so called peacewall, a metal barrier 6-7 meters high. Even though many years have passed since the 'Troubles' there objects are thrown from each side to others and sometimes there are aggressions.

A second later I noticed the barbed wire and the profile of a distant bird. by: danielasala Views[491] Belfast, Short Strend.
