Coming Down With Something

Day: 64

Day  64 -3.JPG

This morning, to the sound of the kegs of Guinness being thrown into the pub basements, I awoke feeling like I was starting to come down with a little cold/headache. I had felt it creeping up on me for the last few days and I had been hoping it would just pass. I really don’t want to get any worse, so I decided to take it easy today and not try anything heavy. I started my morning of by writing and downloading pictures followed up by a little time on the internet and an early Irish lunch, that included the normal four types of potato (mashed, roasted, fries, boiled), cabbage and pork. Oh, and I even found the reason Ireland is so badass.

I had seen a movie theatre on the way to my hostel yesterday, so after lunch I headed over to see something. I ended up watching 16 Blocks (in a giant theater), then meandering back to my hostel to take a short nap. I was feeling better when I woke up, so I booked a tour for the next few days around the coast of Ireland and headed out to have a couple of pints and watch some live Irish music. The music and Guinness was great but after a couple of hours I set about trying to get some night shots of the River Liffey, Haypenny Bridge, and the Temple Bar area. I went back to the hostel and called it an early night around 10:30pm, hoping that tommorow I would feel better.

    OMG!!!! The River Liffey & The Haypenny Bridge are absolutely positively breathe taking. Excellent choice on the time of the evening and the beauty of the river and the lighting of the buildings. Nice work Rob, very nice work!

    You have definately out done yourself with the Haypenny Bridge and the Liffey River. These pictures are amazing. You definately have an eye for the night time scenery.

    Hey Rob,

    The photos are still keeping me a daily reader of your blog(ok, I admit I’m enjoying the commentary as well). Makes me want to grab my camera and take off. Guess I did just that this last week. Took the family up to Yosemite for some R&R and picture taking. Here’s a link to a few shots in case you’re interested in seeing something from back in your home state:

    It’s no world photo tour, but it’ll hold me over until my next escape. Enjoy the emerald isle….Definatly on my list for “some day”.
