… probably isn’t a rose.

Sheba takes a quick nap in the evening sun.

OK, I know I said I was going to give the HDR thing a break, but I thought this might make a good example. And it kind of does… the shot itself is nothing special, it’s just the side of Curraghchase house at dusk. But I do like the Noise (normally evil as far as I am concerned) & Contrast – makes the whole thing kind of dark, almost scary, feeling.

Not delighted with this one. It’s pretty much how it looked to the eye at the time… but it feels fake and over processed. Think I’ll be giving this HDR lark a rest for a while.

A Lancia Delta HF Integrale… sure, it’s not very pretty. But it goes like stink! What a car, What a history.
Have a quick look at the video for a quick glimpse of where this car came from… Lancia Delta S4 Tribute
And for anyone that may be interested. This class of rallying is called Group B was established in 1982 by the FIA. Due to a number of major crashes resulting in fatalities, the class was shut down a few years later. Audi Mechanics at the time used to have the disgusting task of removing spectators severed fingers from the air intakes and panel gaps of the Audi Group B Quattros. At the time there was little or no crowd control and spectators used to try to touch the cars as they passed by. Have a look at this to see what I mean (no severed fingers): Walter Rohrl – Group B Audi Quattro

A reflection of a Triumph in the hub cap of a Jensen (possibly an interceptor… it was so ugly I didn’t bother walking around the back to find out what model it was).

OK, I’ve probably reached a new low with this. But I thought this manhole cover was worthy of a snap since it’s probably the nicest one I’ve ever had the privilege of walking on!

A statue of geese landing out side Limerick City Hall.

Taken from the side of King John’s castle – a view of Limerick you don’t see every day!

Oonagh is lifted for the lineout by John and Sebastian Chabal…. errr, I mean Gary. I’m amazed this one worked. First, we had a drink or two by the time we kicked off the second half. Second I managed to catch the action. And finally – no body was hurt!

A Kayaker on one of the waves in Curraghgower Falls (on the Shannon in Limerick City center). Apparently there are four waves – main wave, second wave, little gower and the hole. I think this is probably the main wave!
