Great pic - Very atmospheric

Is that a Lanterne des mortes in the middle? - I thought they were only built in France.

Thanks Alex.

I might be wrong, but I believe it is only a watchtower actually.

Haven't done anything other than snapshots in ages but very pleased with a few photos I took at a recent steam rally.

Could've done with a wider lens to fit in everything I wanted to fit in.

Nice Tyred. You can instantly tell that's film.

Dublin reality - that's what's happening if you leave your bike unattended for a while - found this in Drumcondra last weekend.

The Giro was here in Dublin last month. 3rd stage, was positioned at the flamme rouge, shortly before the final bend.

[QUOTE 3128269, member: 45"]I lived in Drumcondra for a while, about 20 years ago. In the convent, I'll have you know.[/QUOTE]
Oh really? You mean the Monastery of St. Alphonsus - I believe it's called? I live just ten meters off it in St. Patrick's Road!
What did you do there? I always see loads of people walking in and out in the morning and evening, but I have no idea what is actually happening behind the walls... is it just a place to live or did you do something religious there?

Well, I found my field of ox-eye daisies, but next time I'll go later in the day so I don't have to grovel right at ground level to get the Sun behind a flower!

[QUOTE 3129176, member: 45"]There's a Christian charity organisation called YWAM who used to have their Dublin base there. I was with them. Not sure whether they still use the site.

We used to climb over the wall to get to the airport chip shop. Is it still called that?

Is your road the one with the sign that looks like a gravestone on the pavement with an inscription that I couldn't understand?[/QUOTE]
Oh right, interesting. Not sure if they are still in there.
I would imagine the Chip Shop you referring to doesn't exist anymore. Generally there are shops only on he main street, Drumcondra Road now. My street is basically the one, if you're out of the main entrance, straight ahead, in direction of the train bridge.

Some kind of 'tool' from a Norwegian factory, maybe @Fnaar could assist in identification?

I think it's a prototype design for a ballcock

A hell of a climb from way down there.


Proper cycling along some little used forest paths.



More steam engines

I just discovered my camera does bracketing and double exposures. Who knew. Not me but I've only had it 9 years. Oh and that button on the side is the white balance. I might read the rest of the manual now.

Read a manual?

That idea will never catch on
