There’s not much like a foggy morning for shooting graveyards, and while we lived in Cobh I kept a keen eye to the weather for purposes of dashing down to the graveyard should a sufficiently foggy morning arise. One did. :) We’ve a graveyard nearby here, the Glasnevin Cemetery, that I want to go shoot sometime, but it’s so flipping huge I’ve been intimidated. Someday I’ll go do it, though. :)
I love tortoises and turtles. They’re one of the many things I have gained affection for purely through literature. In this particular case, my affection was borne of reading Terry Pratchett’s SMALL GODS on one of the flights around America in 1996 while going to meet my net friends.

This was from last week’s wide-angle lens day. To our left, the Millennium Spire, not precisely affectionately known as “The Stiffy by the Liffey,” and to our right, the General Post Office, which, in 1916, during the Easter Rising, was the uprising’s headquarters.

I haven’t been publishing photos on the weekends, but I always think of this one as a St Patrick’s Day kind of photo, so Happy St Patrick’s Day! (This also featured as the cover image for Chaz Brenchley (‘s novel LIGHT ERRANT, when he re-released it as an e-book through Book View Cafe. :))
