I've finally gone through all my pictures i've taken from '03 and '04 while we were in Ireland, and as prompted by the "post yr best picture" thread, i've decided to throw in my own 2 bytes. This first installment is just from areas we visited in Ireland. I tried to limit the selected photos to stuff which I would think others would enjoy, from a scenery or artistic perspective. Hopefully my self-editing capabilities have succeeded.

I'll post another thread later which captures pictures from our continental trips. all photos are 600x800 so they hopefully won't mess w/ the screen too much. and all were taken w/ a Canon G2.

1st pic is a panoramic view of Trim Castle, County Meath, taken from the rear of the site.

you should be ashamed of yourself

Don't y'all have a good train system? Can't you get to all sorts of places in Europe for a reasonable price and time? I'd so be traveling everywhere.

very nice, makes me want to go.

thanks for the feedback guys. parts, it was a bit of a drive for us, but not too bad (and taking advantage that the M1 from dublin to just about newry is probably the best/fastest road in all of ireland). steve, hop on the ferry and you're there in about 45 min i think. some friends of ours took the belfast ferry to visit scotland.

imageshack limited some of my linked photos due to bandwidth, so i'll gradually leak more photos over time.

those turned out really nicely

aye, its only a tiny hop, definitly plan to go soon, was taking to my mate about the idea the other day, just for a day or 2, but it all depends on whenever he can get time off work.

see if you can plan yr trip when an irish NPS race is happening. i think a moneyscalp race is happening soon, and ballycarton, rostrevor, tolleymore and ravensdale have all held races in the past year or two. head to www.irishdh.com for more info from Brock and the lads.

Beautiful stuff, narlus. Those houses below the cliffs are nuts. Good stuff.

 

[splat]

Very Nice Tim! glad you took the time to share those.

 

[valve bouncer]

Where's the photos of you passed out after 13 pints of the black stuff. Nice pics mate.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ Ireland. Gonna have to get back to see the NW coast by Galway and Giant's Causeway.

-S.S.-

 

[Yossarian]

Great pics. I miss Ireland and want to go back so bad.


FYI - I believe that The Cliffs of Moher are in County Claire.

 

[narlus]

VB, no drunken pics, at least none i know iof. yossarian, you are probably correct; i couldn't remember where the county line changed from galway to clare on the drive down. we went through a cool little town called lisdoonvarna which i think has a music festival each year (although they held it in dublin in '03... ).

 

[Yossarian]

I think the county line is just north of Lisdoonvarna, which also has a matchmaking festival each year. It was in full swing when my wife and I visited, so we stayed away from LVarna, except for a quick lunch and opted to spend some extra time in Doolin, just north of the Cliffs
