I made a post a couple of days ago about Slovenia and you all noticed how most of the photos were green. I was looking for the topic for today's post and find out that today is green Thursday. I said to myself: no color challenge for me today.
But when I start to browse my fresh photo albums I got an idea. I'll show you that even with photos from sandy, the desert rich country you can participate in a green photo challenge.
I took these photos one day when our friend in Dubai invited us for the brunch. A funny word I learned in Canada. It's not either breakfast no lunch. Somewhere in between, but only time wise. The meals are usually lunch size.
Anyway. Dubai is quite a big city and half an hour drive to the restaurant is a normal thing, if you don't miss the right turn and if you find a parking spot of course. It's better to calculate a full hour otherwise you can expect to hear your stomach start to complaining.
The voice from our GPS navigation reminded us that we reached our final destination. Finally.
A nice Irish Green bar counter. With plenty of Irish beer.
The beer lovers will immediately notice the ten beer taps but experienced ones will check on the right side too. I counted them for you. They're twenty (20).
McGettigan's is nice Irish restaurant with great food and drinks but you not gonna find it the concrete jungle of Dubai without a good friend and navigation.
Nice little outside garden for the smokers.
But not in Dubai. You can smoke inside too if you want. Canadian smokers would love that.
Like in the woodshed.

More of the green atmosphere.
The famous Beef pie. Crisp dough on top of Irish beef meat stew.
I forgot to show the mash potatoes and beer.
This TV doesn't fit but it's Sports bar and football is an important part of Irishman's life, I assume.
We chopped some wood on a way out to burn some of that pie's calories and stopped for an extra pint at the bar.
Cheers to all Irish steemians.
Have a great green day, my friends
What a nice composur of post and lovely clear photos. Mehn!! You are really nice in posting. Hope to learn from you and become a better you. Thanks @oldtimer
I totally agree with you
Great scenery from the fastest growing and beautiful city in the world . Interesting the desert has become a place where people around the world come o fall in love with. @olditimer am really craving for those delicious meals. Great post boss
Cheer for the pictures. I travel rarely.
Seems there's a bar in every part of the globe, even the desert ;D
The few occasions when I've travelled I've come to conclude modern city life is basically identical everywhere. It's as if you never left home.
Except if you live in the village.
yes.
Nice pictures mate, how is Dubai treating you :P?
I didn't knew this about Dubai, that sounds like a pain!
Dubai treats you great. If you have enough money in your pocket. But that's the case with every place in the world, I guess.
wow! awesome place! Interior desine and decoration are top class.. nice pictures. Thank you @oldtimer for those clicks..
Wow nice

Very cool looking green colour, but we both know which green wins ;)
My well trained eyes saw the taps before reading your narrative... what a find. An Expatriates heaven. St. Patty's Day there must be epic. Great blog @oldtimer.
They have an even bigger pub called Irish village but we didn't have time to visit it this time. A couple years ago we were there. It was a bit wild although was not St. Patric day.
Thanks for the kind comment.
green color
It is the color of nature
Very really wonderful photography
A special place
Well done publishing
Interesting post. Nice green photos despite the fact that I usually prefer my greens to be of the natural variety ;)

Thanks for sharing @oldtimer
I'm not Irish, but Cheers to you!
Nice post @ old timer !
Steem your way to glory !
@oldtimer, I've decided to tell you a little something about your posts in general (a little feedback). I can tell that you put a lot of effort or at least take time to think what would be catcy and informative for the followers and other random Steemians. Additionally, I like your style of presenting material in your posts. Some little explanation in the beginning (not too much, not too little) and then a few well chosen photos with some meaningful explanations.
Your posts definitely have a value (because you're not just throwing some stuff together for the sake of quantity) and I personally value that ;)
Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad to hear this. I like to present the real world like I see it, and my own thoughts and observations, not the one from comercials or Wikipedia. The main obstacle is language.
But when I started on steemit two years ago I was only capable to comment with: nice post or good job.
I'm very thankful for steemit to improve my life and knowledge in many different aspects.
Yes, the language is my main obstacle as well, it's way easier to express myself in Slovenian. But you have a point, it is important not to give up. I have also learned a lot on Steemit in just a couple of months, especially regarding crypto. See you around ;)
Perfect for the Green Thursday
I liked them all but the ceiling was the best ;)
such a varied selection of greens very cool but that pie looks so good

@tipU is looking for SP delegators - pays out 100% of profit to all investors. Write a comment: @tipu I want to delegate X sp - where X is the amount of SP and @tipU will answer you with a delegation link :)
It looked like it could be in Dublin. That was a very hearty meal. Nice of you to add to the wood pile on your way out... such a great feature with the massive wood stack.
Try to google it. I'm almost sure they have a franchise there too. Or probably even headquarters, and this is a franchise.
You're right they are a franchise with restaurants in Ireland, UK, The Middle East, Asia, and one in the USA!
A great place to spent time...
wow! wonderful photography .Thanks for sharing this post.
beautiful color, very nice place, good food, @jhoni like, thanks for sharing, @oldtimer. 😊
a beautiful green day!
I've always wanted to go and now you've made me want to go even more. Great pictures.
