Sweet GaJeebus, it's about time (Warning, boring travel pictures)
I uploaded my Ireland pictures from my camera.


Creepy God-Like lights, prolly coming to take my soul.


Yeah right, Ireland has bad weather in October


Doors with money


Doors without money


Didn't stand too close, still depressed about the election


Someone must have died here.


Did Sybil post today? I sure do miss those wacky-assed posts, she has more personalities than Charo.

1. Gorgeous. I find it hard to take pictures in Ireland. The light seems
so bright there. Lucky you. Where did you go?

2. we did a driving
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 06:13 PM by MichaelHarris
tour of the South, 10 days from coast to coast. Landed in Shannon then drove the Ring of Kerry, then to the Cliffs of Mohr, then to Blarney. I didn't kiss the stone because people pee on it during the night. We have family right outside of Blarney. We ended up in Dublin on the last 2 nights.

As far as taking pictures I do something kind of goofy, I use scotch tape to diffuse the flash, sounds weird I know but using layers of tape can soften the light and trick the digital camera's light meter. It's so easy to fake out a digital camera. That's how I got the light in the church picture.

14. Wow really?
My favoritest cereal from childhood was Count Chocula, and that's still on the shelves, so no special webistes required!

And no, you're not onion-headed, but that pink and green thing is!

16. Actually
I recently read or saw on some program that there's a scientific explanation for that. Related to fluid dynamics and the desire to displace the ... um ... seed of others with one's own. :)

On a different note B&W rocks:

35. well, FWIW:
The form of German army helmets is essentially unchanged since WW1 - to this day.

Not worth much, though ;-)

Engineers follow nature, not the other way round. The older, pointy design would have been uncomfortable anyway.

most of the south, spending a night in most of the cool places, once at this place called Kinitty castle:



Yeah, you guessed it, I had sex in a castle and it was good dammit.

Yup, the cliffs of Mohr, to be honset I was more impressed by the golf course close to it.

17. I saw the picture
you won the photo thread with, it was bad ass. Most of my photos are not fit for DU consumption. You know that fine line between fine art and fine porn that exists around here.

I saw apost about a guy needing help with his digital camera and I remembered I have a card I haven't even looked at yet. Good thing there wasn't any porn on it.

38. Great pics, thanks! I've been getting that old longing for
Europe and this helps fuel the feeling.

Unfortuately, my self-tutoring in French is not going anywhere fast...
