June July and August

Hmmmm, from 9-5, Monday to Friday, from Oxegen to Switzerland, from Carlow to Lahinch, not having two minutes to myself- here's a few pic's that make up June, July and August.

Main stage in Oxegen

Andy bouldering in Cresciano, Switzerland

Beautiful butterfly I saw on the way to Leighlinbridge along the Barrow, whilst walking with Mum

This weird foam on the beach in Lahinch this weekend, kids playing in it - it reminded me of the foam on top of a creamy Latte

Radiohead

Went to see Radiohead in Malahide Castle last weekend and they were brilliant. The concert went off to a great start - with rain in the interval. But this only enhanced the day - as the sun came out as Radiohead took the stage - and a full arc rainbow framed the crowd. How fitting ??

Myself, Andy and John

Siurana / Rodellar

I've just put some climbing, scenic and people shots on my flickr website.

Watching the rain in Rodellar

8 of us left Ireland on Saturday 24th May aiming to climb for 10 days in Rodellar, where we met Al and Aoife. We left blissful sunshine in Ireland and arrived to much the same in Reus. This didn't last long, not long onto the road, the rain came tumbling down and stayed that way for the next 3 days. So much so that we opted out of the seaping tufas in Rodellar in favour of the blank fast drying faces of Siurana and Margalef.

Rain and Roses

Much as we complain about the rain - it brings out the beauty in nature!

Dublin Dockland's at Sunset

Dinasaur Jnr

A week ago I'd never heard of them, last weekend I was listening to their CD and on Tuesday I ventured to their concert :) Great concert - but oh my God it was loud, my ears were still ringing when I went to bed on Wednesday night!!



Crappy camera phone photo - if only I'd brought my nikon - next time :)

Life is like a Box of Chocs

What with my not so new job (anymore) and a few other new things I have been staying away from my laptop in the evenings.. but I have been attempting to keep active since Montenejos. Most of which have been divided between trips to the Burren and trips to Wicklow!!
