I was out for a walk at lunch time recently, a beautiful Spring day in Limerick. I spotted this rower leaning back and taking in the sun after what must’ve been a fairly tough session. When he had a bit of rest, he took off again. Apart from the birds, there was no noise – a great day for a bit of time alone in the middle of the Shannon.

A Galway city skyline – the churches of St. Augustines, St. Nicholas and the Cathedral.
By the time you would have this mess untangled, you’d know every inch of this rope. Taken outside the Claddagh Community Boat Club in Galway city.
Two neglected boats lie at the edge of the Corrib at the Claddagh Community Boat Club in Galway city. I took this with my trusty old 30D while out and about for a weekend with the Nokia N8. I have to say – this took a bit more processing than the photos from the N8… doesn’t say much for my photography skills!

I’ve never seen such a perfectly formed Lily before – nevermind a blue/purple one. Taken just below “Big Budha” on Ko Samui, Thailand.
A tired looking Elephant on Ko Samui.
Taken at the same Zoo on Ko Samui. I don’t know if thats a look of determination (to get out), sadness or boredom.
There was a “Zoo” just down the road from our hotel – full of Tigers, Leopards and other amazing animals. I hate seeing such a beautiful animal locked up in such a small pen. This particular Tiger (which was huge by the way) just kept scratching his nose and chin on the fence of his enclosure. I suppose there was little else for him to do.
