Sugarloaf Mountain

McAWilliams — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 20:54:38 +0000

So while flying about Wicklow courtesy of John Nugent at the Newcastle Aerodrome and Wicklow.tv we flew up to the Sugarloaf Mountain, flying around it we got to see poor folk who had spent hours climbing while it took us a few seconds to get up there, poor guys!

Im sorry for putting up an image very similar to yesterdays but I love this monument at Newgrange so much.

Newgrange

McAWilliams — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 20:44:41 +0000

After the visit to the Battle of the Boyne site we decided to visit to Newgrange which is an amazing passage tomb. According to our tour guide Newgrange was constructed over 5,200 years ago (about 3,400 B.C.), making it older than Stonehenge in England and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Newgrange was built during the Neolithic or New Stone Age by a farming community that prospered on the rich lands of the Boyne Valley. Knowth and Dowth are similar mounds that together with Newgrange have been designated a World Heritage Site.

Swimming at Ballybunnion Beach

McAWilliams — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 20:50:56 +0000

I just thought I would put this image from Ballybunnion beach up of mad Irish people going for a swim in the Atlantic since the weather has changed so dramatically over the past few days.

Brings back nice memories doesn’t it.

Ballybunnion Beach Ruins

McAWilliams — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:22:26 +0000

Here is another picture from Kerry, this time taken at the beautiful beach at Ballybunnion or Ballybunion as I have explained before. These ruins sit atop a cliff looking down on the beach.

I have messed about with the colours a bit in this image to create a strange effect, all part of the learning process (messing process) of photoshop.

Herbert Road major road works

McAWilliams — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 22:04:31 +0000

Well things ain’t got no better with my life, Paula’s aunt is still critical, a good mate of mine has just being diagnosed with cancer, work has started to go all christmassy on me, so photography has been the last thing on my mind.

I did however decide to try to upgrade to movabletype 4, and wasted a weekend on it only to revert back to MT 3.33. That is why I have put this image up its decribes my life so well as it stands at the moment. It was taken on the Herbert Road in Bray around the corner from the bridge in the last image.

Today I also wrote a guest post for the main man himself Damien Mulley, where I had to pick 2 of my favorite images and explain more about them. The post can be found here

Poulanass Waterfall

McAWilliams — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 12:31:16 +0000

Day 3 was spent down in the amusements on the Bray Seafront. So I did not take any pictures down there although my self and Szlampy spent some time shooting zombies.

Oyvind and Anna went climbing up Bray Head and took some great pictures there check out Anna’s page for some of those over the next few days.

The 2 people who I cannot link Paula and Dolly went walking around Bray town and bought some books.

So I have no real images from this day as it was a very relaxing day so here is the waterfall that ruined so many other good images for me on Friday called the Poulanass Waterfall.

A bridge what more can I say
