It offers a wealth of photographic opportunities, which we encourage you to share with the site. From photographs of the city's iconic landmarks, bustling streets and personal stories to nostalgic moments and events which make up the rich tapestry of Belfast, its past, present and future, send them to us (but don't send originals as they can't be returned).
Belfast's storied past is beautifully preserved in its architecture, streetscapes, cobbled streets and cultural landmarks, even the dilapidated buildings littered around the city, crying out for attention, have a story to tell, so why don't you tell it?
From the grandeur of Parliament Buildings in the east to the maritime history of the city and its shipyard, every quarter has a unique story waiting to be told, waiting to be captured on camera. Indeed, one story is that whilst most cities have four quarters because four quarters make a whole, Belfast is traditionally unique in that it has seven quarters: the Cathedral Quarter, the Titanic Quarter, the Gaeltacht Quarter, Smithfield Market and Library Quarter, the Linen Quarter, the Market Quarter and the University Quarter also known as the Queen's Quarter. (It couldn't happen anywhere but here!)
As you know, throughout the years Belfast has hosted many festivals and events both one off spectaculars to annual events, so if you have photos of these events, events showing Belfast shining in all its glory, why not share? Whether your images are of our maritime festivals or of events such as Belsonic or the City's Marathon, it's good to share!
Your photos don't have to seismic just special, they could provide our readers with a snapshot of your happiest or saddest moments, special moments that all make up a beautiful tapestry of memories, that make up Belfast. Why not join us on a journey down memory lane by sharing your photographs providing a visual time capsule, capturing the joy, excitement, sorrow and even camaraderie of the city's past.
By sharing your photos and stories with our readers you can contribute to a collective archive that celebrates all things Belfast from a simple family day out to photos of our rich heritage and enduring spirit, moments that have left an indelible mark on your life can now leave an indelible mark on Belfast's through your photos.
