Walking this morning… Pictures of Ireland

[Wannabefree]

Those are gorgeous!! I don't like the modern touches, they're so out of place and detract from the mystique in my opinion. I'd love to visit someday when the pocketbook is fatter lol!

Dublin is overrated… Went there for the day on Sunday. We took a tram from the train station and first impressions was lots of graffitied buildings, smutty looking places. Across the river to Trinity College was a bit nicer, but I didn't see anything that made me go wow, except this squirrel wall art on the side of a building.

The famous college

Cool street lamps

Awesome wall art made out of scrap metal (See the bicycle?)

Baymule, it is now! Many of these older roads get taken back by nature over time. There is one down in Co Cork, near Model Village, at a crossing on the road where they put a STOP sign, and painted "STOP" on the road, only "TOP" can still be seen clearly. The S is gone-gone along with that side of the road.

This road in the pics get the odd truck heading out there to do deliveries of heating oil and lots of tractor traffic.

I think lots of people feel that way when they come here! It's a privilege being able to live here. I am grateful every day still. And after going on 2 years I'm still blown away daily by the beauty of this country!

I skipped my second walk today, but if the weather allows, I'll be out again tomorrow and will see what I can find to photograph. I'm quietly working on a website about Ireland, not ready to share yet, but I will in time. I'm writing pieces about living here, the people, funny stories, what to expect etc. I need to travel around a bit more for more pics and info soon. I'll keep you all posted.

I'll book the castle outside the village for us for a week There are loads of cows around and a working farmyard next to it, so it's perfect for us lol

I didn't take much pics lately, mostly because I left my phone home and have been walking the same roads I already photographed
