Time alone

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.

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.

U Boat

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.

I want to break free

Taken at the same Zoo on Ko Samui. I don’t know if thats a look of determination (to get out), sadness or boredom.

Little else to do

Little else to do

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.
