Product Details
Our luxuriously soft blankets are available in two different sizes and feature incredible artwork on the top surface. The bottom surface is white. Our 100% polyester blankets are available in two different styles: plush fleece and sherpa fleece. Plush fleece blankets are soft and fluffy on both sides, whereas sherpa blankets are smooth like a soft sweater on the artwork side (i.e. shorter threads) which provides for a sharper image. Looking for a recommendation? Go with a 60" x 80" plush fleece blanket. It's soft and luxurious on both sides... the artwork looks incredible... and the size is just right for everyone.

More than 1 million people died during the famine and another 1 million emigrated during this period.
The statues are compelling individuals, tall, lean, made from bronze.
I saw them more as ghostly figures of Ireland's tragic past.
While I was shooting images, I noticed a young homeless man was placing flowers in their hands. My curiosity sparked and stopped to talk to him, I asked if I could help.
We chatted about the city, where he 'lived' - rather slept - under a nearby bridge - and he told me he comes here almost every day to 'talk' to the statues, they were his friends.
He then began telling me detailed stories about each statue's (person's) plight as if he knew them personally and deeply.
