Convention Centre Dublin View

Kitsnaps: Convention Centre Dublin View

Convention Centre Dublin View[/caption] I’m not absolutely sure this should qualify as a Kitsnap, but what the heck. I was in Dublin’s new convention centre a while back, and this panorama is one I took from an upper floor, overlooking the docklands.

Finbarr Gargoyles

Kitsnaps: Finbarr Gargoyles

Now this gargoyle is definitely at St Finbarr’s Cathedral in Cork, even if I’m not sure about the apse photo from the other day. :) I like gargoyles, as people might guess. :)

Abyssinian Hornbill

Kitsnaps: Abyssinian Hornbill

This magnificently ugly fellow is Ted’s nemesis at the zoo. Every time they’ve encountered each other, the hornbill defends his territory like crazy. Ted wasn’t with us when I took this, and the hornbill was showing off mightily for his lady friend, so I got some great pictures. :)

Marlogue Hearth

Kitsnaps: Marlogue Hearth

There’s a maintained forest in Cobh, Marlogue (Marlow) Wood. Scattered throughout it are small ruins, houses that have been taken back by the wood. This is my favorite shot I took of one, a hearth that appears in remarkably good condition, given that everything around it has largely disappeared.

Christmas Shoppers

Kitsnaps: Christmas Shoppers

A few-second, maybe 10-second, exposure, taken while balancing the camera on top of a post because I didn’t have a tripod and was apparently bored with just snapping shots of passers-by. Mostly I like the color in this.
