Its okay, I was just joking
Beautiful pictures, Niamh!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
thanks pensive. these are only some of my photos as i got a bit snap happy and had three cameras. unfortunately i only had one digital camera and i dont have a scanner so cant put some of the other ones up. including the black and white ones.

Never mind the nap - I want to play.

Niamh - Nice pictures of Edinburgh. You brought back memories of my trip there.
Claes - Oh my God!!! You actually got pictures of lions!! Wow. How far away were you from them?

Amazing. I haven't been on much here lately and i have neglected to visit this thread in quite a bit. I had to go back about eight pages to view all the great pictures.
Claes, I have no idea what your current career is, but if you told me professional photographer, I would not be surprised. Beautiful pictures. I love the lions.
Niamh and Cookie, you both took great pics of your trips, very nice. Cookie, you look so cute! Niamh, you must be photogenic, you're Irish.I cannot believe otherwise.
Virgil, wow. Martha's Vineyard is beautiful in it's off season. You captured a real feeling of tranquility. Sadly, it is not the same place in the summer, lots of people around.
Great pics of the Eiffel tower too, although I wasn't sure who took those. Thank you everybody for posting such wonderful pictures.

Thank you. Strictly amateur, unfortunately. It would be nice to get payed for something I love doing, but alas... Anyway, I think I'll stick to Quality Engineering.In this case about 20m/60', but there is more to come: On one occasion we had no less than 14 (!) cats all around the car.[QUOTE=Niamh;353065]Intimidated? Yes, a wee bit, but we had an understanding: We stayed in the car, and they stayed out of it. I'll have to say one thing, though: As you will be able to see in later pictures, these wild lions have a glint in their eyes that you will not see in a zoo. The difference is huge. They look at you and you can see what they are thinking: "-Fine, you can hide in that thing, but if you even think about venturing outside, I'll take you apart..."

You have a point, but I would like to expand a bit on that: Dawn and twilight will often bring forth amazing colours. Incidentally, the same thing can be said for rainy weather, when few people (for obvious reasons) bother to use their cameras.
I should also add that I am very fond of night shots...

You know, I double-checked, actuallyYeah, I was thinking the same thing. I didn't know they wear kilts in Ireland. But perhaps some man who just wants to wear a skirt.
I always paint at dawn.
Beautiful pictures of Edinburgh, Niamh!!!
Nice that you're planning to take more photos of Dublin! I'd like a shot of Christ Church, if you please
Concerning James Joyce's places: I noticed that there are golden (or copper) plates built into the pavement at places relating to Ulysses. They're approximately 30 x 30 cm (1 ft x 1 ft), and have the respective quotation from the book on them. I saw many of them, but I only recall there's one on O'Connell Bridge for sure (I stood right next to it on the picture), maybe you could take a pic of one of these for Virgil, Niamh? It might be easier to relate the scenary and the book, then
