  • That is a pretty shot Carla, with the mist rising and the hills behind. This is one of my favs - it is the same morning looking out back of the cottages as the sun kept peeking through o'er the hills :-) (NT) -- Mahri, 14:46:25 11/23/09 Mon
    • I love this camera - I didn't do any editing to this photo except cropped it a wee bit :-) (NT) -- Mahri, 14:48:33 11/23/09 Mon
    • Just gorgeous, Mahri. I may have to steal a copy of that one. For the technotard in me, what kind of camera do you have again? (NT) -- Carla, 18:36:16 11/23/09 Mon
      • I have the Sony DSC HX1, I think it's called - very smart little camera. (NT) -- Mahri, 08:26:39 11/24/09 Tue
        • We looked at it at the camera store, Mahri, but Morgan wasn't convinced. On his Russian cruise, one of the Alaska scientists had a wee Canon that impressed him for its macro capabilities. I'm thinking it's time we went our separate ways on cameras, I don't think he and I have the same photographic interests. Have you shot any video with your Sony? (NT) -- PeggyB, 09:40:15 11/24/09 Tue
          • I haven't tried the video yet Peggy - maybe on Thursday...but then I'll probably not be able to post it with the way my family gets sometimes *g* I was skeptical about the Sony at first too, I love my Canon Rebel, but both Elaine & Shannon have the model just under the one I got and love it - I figured those were two of the best recommenders I was gonna get :-) (NT) -- Mahri, 17:18:26 11/24/09 Tue
            • It was a truly remarkable little camera, did so much! (NT) -- Sheila, 16:07:07 11/25/09 Wed
• I know it is not a great picture, but it was up against a really dirty window that first night in the Tower Hotel and I loved it. (NT) -- Sheila, 16:20:06 11/25/09 Wed
• I love the blurry effects to the lights, Sheila. I think it's a great shot of the Bogside. (NT) -- Carla, 12:38:25 11/26/09 Thu
• I love those night shots of the Bogside - mine had too much glare from the window. (NT) -- Mahri, 16:43:51 11/27/09 Fri
• you know I told myself I'd get my pictures into some sort of digital scrapbook this weekend...no such luck! I really need to so I can have the pics at hand when I feel like reminiscing. *g* (NT) -- Lil, 22:11:57 11/29/09 Sun
  • I've got my photos in a book, but I don't have them labelled on the pages yet. Fortunately, since I was shooting film, I don't have as many photos to deal with. (NT) -- PeggyB, 11:16:12 11/30/09 Mon
• I love all of these pictures, thanks! (NT) -- FranS, 13:49:49 12/01/09 Tue

• I like taking those types of photos, too, Peggy. I'll put some of mine from the Shindig inside >>> -- Carla, 17:21:00 11/18/09 Wed
  • LOVE LOVE LOVE that 2nd picture Carla...gorgeous! (NT) -- Mahri, 07:57:09 11/19/09 Thu
    • Thanks, Miss Mahri. (NT) -- Carla - blushing, 14:20:02 11/19/09 Thu
  • Love these and I know right where that second one was taken! (NT) -- FranS, 20:48:12 11/19/09 Thu
• That's a beautiful picture Peggy - I don't think I took many like this, this time...but I like capturing nature shots too. (NT) -- Mahri, 07:56:08 11/19/09 Thu
  • Thanks, Mahri. I don't think I would even have seen this teeny thistle were I not looking for a hiding place for the letterbox! Had to use the macro setting on my camera to get the shot. (NT) -- PeggyB, 08:10:38 11/19/09 Thu

• Is "99" what they call ice cream cones? Looks yummy! (NT) -- PeggyB, 10:54:22 11/16/09 Mon
  • I'm not sure if it's all ice cream cones - but definitely the soft serve that was available everywhere. Of course it wasn't 99cents so who knows where the name came from (NT) -- CindyS, 12:11:33 11/16/09 Mon
    • 99 calories? **D&R** (NT) -- PeggyB, 13:20:01 11/16/09 Mon
  • A "99" is a soft serve ice cream with the Flake bar stuck in it. They may have been 99 pence at one point, but not anymore. They're popular in England, as well. (NT) -- Carla, 04:41:22 11/17/09 Tue
    • Aha. (NT) -- PeggyB, 11:13:09 11/19/09 Thu
• That was in Adare wasn't it?? those were so fun to eat, even if it was chilly that day. *g* (NT) -- Lil, 21:17:07 11/16/09 Mon
• That's a LOT of ice cream! I liked it better that Dairy Queen. It seemed to have a bit of a tang to it, not so very sweet. Thanks for the picture! Yes, that was in Adare at the grocery store. (NT) -- FranS, 07:55:07 11/17/09 Tue

"Big Fish" by John Kindness (c. 1999)

I snapped this quickly as our Belfast step-on guide Billy was guiding us down to the docks area. This sculpture was installed in 1999, it was commissioned to celebrate the regeneration of the River Lagan. It is 10 meters in length and is made of ceramic tiles decorated with text and images of Belfast's history. I wish I could have gotten up close to it. Here's a link to the Belfast Arts Council page on "Big Fish" CLICK HERE

Too bad that man is standing right in front of the salmon's eye, oh well, I felt fortunate to get even this shot before George turned the corner!

• That was a pretty fish :-) (NT) -- Mahri, 18:20:49 11/15/09 Sun
• I didn't see this! You must have some kind of fish magnet that came along with your degree! (NT) -- FranS, 19:22:42 11/15/09 Sun
  • I believe I do, Fran, LOL!!!! Did anyone else see this "chia" fish topiary, north of Belfast?
    (NT) -- PeggyB, 20:45:07 11/15/09 Sun
    • I remember driving past that! You need to be so quick to get these shots don;t you. (NT) -- Sheila, 15:38:14 11/16/09 Mon
