Iced Coffee: harbour

§ September 13th, 2008

European Heritage Days in Northern Ireland this weekend. I made a rough schedule of places to visit in the City Centre, starting with this the Harbour Commissioners Office .

It’s nice to have opportunities to see inside historic buildings of interest in the city. There are so many I would loved to have had the chance to get to see, throughout Northern Ireland. Tomorrow is Stormont.

Grannymar: Today I was up and out early

§ September 13th, 2008

The mist was so thick I couldn’t see the end of the garden. There was no way I could avoid seeing this

And this.

There was no sign of the lady who crafted this lacework. I hope she is not in the garage ;)

Now I have forgotten why I went out in the first place…

I’ll tell you tomorrow when I remember. Well I am old and bold.

Kyle Tunney Photography: Liffey Descent 2008 Photos

§ September 13th, 2008

Hey Guys,
Saturday the 13th of September brought us some lovely weather, a lovely 4mg release and of course The Liffey Descent 2008 - The 49th Liffey Descent. It was a great race to watch and shoot!! I was up at Straffan weir and sadly there were a lot of broken K1’s and K2’s at the start (sorry guys) . After a few minutes of shooting at Straffan I hopped into the car and drove to Lucan weir where I jumped in the water. It was lovely and warm :)

 

If you are looking for the results of the descent ‘08 they should be posted over on canoe.ie soon.

 

 

Photos are only €20 for 10×8 prints

 

**As always, if you want to view the picture larger just click on them **
Anyway, enough talking and on to the photos

You may have seen the new Microsoft ads starring Gates & Seinfeld. They are just a bit odd. Infact I find the whole concept crap and I don’t like them. I’m sure they will get to a point after a few more, but I don’t find it funny. I see what they are trying to do, and no I won’t be going back to Windows with such blatant “I’m Bill Gates, I’m trying to get down with the people, with some actors” bullshit. It just sucks.
