Pictures Taken By you...

Here are more pics from Dublin. The First one i took for Sub. Its evidence that the painted people the move about are here in Ireland too. This guy is a replica of the James Joyce statue that is only yards away from where he is standing!

Niamh, wonderful! More Dublin photos....I love them....I love that statue of James Joyce - how interesting; must be neat to sit in that cafe and drink tea and see Joyce, right outside the window.

Thanks again for posting such great photos. I must show these to my son, he went to Ireland a number of years back.

I finally got out of the cabin to get some pictures (it's been freakishly cold here the last couple of days). These were taken in a valley called the Knife River Valley that is about 5 or 6 miles from where my parents live. My dad and I took a drive and brought our cameras, some of these pictures were taken by my dad and some by me.

This one is mine. It's still quite cold, only about 7 degrees F when we took the pictures and there was a very light, fluffy snow. The effect on the trees was quite stunning, especially with the sun as the back lighting.

My dad took this picture. It's was taken in the same area, just a different perspective. I love the bend in the road, it gives a nice frame to the picture.

This is another one of my dad's. I love the barbwire in that picture, I'm not sure why though. :p

There's nothing I love more than shots of the prairie, this one is mine.

This one is mine as well. Second only to pictures of the prairie, I love these old abandoned houses and to get both the snow and frost tipped prairie grass and the house in the same shot is heaven. :D

Great pictures Niamh and Idrill. :) That's how I picture Dublin and North Dakota.

lovely pictures, idrill! (:

Lovely pictures indeed!! Gorgeous, belike!!

BTW, Idril, I finished "Morgoth's Ring" some months ago.

It is now a favorite book of mine. :D :nod:

Great pictures, Niamh! That replica guy of the statue of Joyce .... wow! Awesome! :thumbs_up

Idril, your photos are very well thought out. Each one has a special beauty. I know what you are saying about that barbwire -- I have a few pics of it too, but why? Well, why not! :p My favorite is the last one, too.

Very interesting pictures!

I have also liked that of house the best. It gives a very neat look. And Dublin looks nice, Niamh! :)

great pics, Idril, I can't decide which one I like best, the first, the one with the barbwire or the last one ???

hey guys, I've posted some pics of the world-famous Nuremberg Christmas Market in the Kraut Konspiracy

we visited the wild boars again and I fed the big fat daddy boar. I even touched his fur and his bushy ears and my sissy little husband touched him, too :)

LOL...Did anyone see the movie 'Hot Fuzz', the village was trying to keep the painted people out. I had to laugh when I thought of that.

Oh, I absolutely LOVED this picture!!! I love the look of the abandoned homes, too. I find something very sad about them, though. To think someone, perhaps a family, once lived there. Now it is just a sad ghostly image. Still, I absolutely loved this one. I especially liked the touch of winter to it! :)
