Night Shots

I do like little challenges and I was lucky enough to recieve a tripod for Christmas. So on Sunday evening, me, my tripod & camera, piled ourselves onto my bike and headed for the river to photograph the Custom's House.

What do you think?

Active Times

I feel revitalised after my active weekend. I got out of Dublin briefly on both Saturday and Sunday :) Up to Ballinastoe on Saturday for some mountainbiking on the tracks and a hill run on Sunday - a couple of laps of Howth head. I am happy to say on both days I came home head to toe covered in muck :) It was great !!

Silent Things

I've been hibernating a bit over the last few weeks - time to chill out. New Year's was nice and chilled a few of us for dinner and drinks at Barry's & Eoin's.





Then much to my dismay, wires were crossed and my start date with my new job got pushed forward a week and a half :( but its all good. These things happen. Unforutnately though I did have to cancel my snowboarding trip to Briancon - I figured better to make a good impression. So my new job is Performance Engineer for Sun Microsystems. Its a steep learning curve but so far so good.

Lahinch

Just before Christmas I headed off to visit my brother in Lahinch. Twas a glorius day and got a couple of nice shots.



Reflections on Lough Derg - just passed Ballina and Killaloe on the way to Ennis from the Limerick road. It was a random spot just off the road which grabbed my eye.




Sun setting over Lahinch - taken somewhere between Doolin and Lahinch on the back road.

Cold Damp Glendo

Very few of us braved the coldness of last Sunday of Glendalough. The day was most certainly short lived. Conditions weren't bad - but the sun never came out, the skies were dull and it just felt baltic.

Christmas Cheer

I'm an attempt at being festive and joining the Christmas spirit - we drank lots of mulled wine and decorated the house... well the boys did - I laughed a lot and got my camera at the ready...




Funky psycho-dellic lights now line the stairway to the rest of the house...

Susan and Simon

Congratulations Sue and Simon!! and what a lovely wedding. Great to see old and new friends gathering around to celebrate their marriage. In weather that has been typical of the last few weeks - it rained pretty much the entire day but that didn't put a dampener on things.



It gave a great start to Christmas celebrations - mince pies, mulled wine, christmas trees and carol singers.
