Penny Dreadful Season 2 Filming Continues in Transformed Winter Wonderland Dublin; Onlookers Thought Snow Is True

The cast and team involved in the "Penny Dreadful Season 2" series are having fun in the simulated, artificial snow-covered grounds of the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin on Tuesday where a Victorian scene involving Eva Green (Vanessa Ives) is taking place. Onlookers passing by the garden cannot help but be confused with the presence of snow in the remaining days of summer. 

A witness of the artificial set commented in a UK-based website www.goss.ie saying: "I really thought it was snowing, there was specks of snow floating in the air. But then I realised it was all fake."

Photos of the Daily Mail tabloid show characters in winter frocks and coats. Eva Green, for one, is wearing a Victorian-inspired layered monochrome clothes with her hair pulled up in a carefree bun. Staff members also build a snowman and put a sledge with the horses to complete the winter environment.
