These Pictures are from a trip I took in Ireland in February of 2006 and never posted. This was the first camera I've ever owned so a lot of my night and evening shots cam out blurry. I'll probably skip most of those, anyways here it is:
1. Dublin street scene:
2. St. Stephan's Green, Dublin:
3. Charming Street in Dublin:
4. Alley full of Kegs. I love Ireland!
5. Large Church in Dublin:
6. Tiny Medieval Doors on the Church:
7. Rock of Cashel:
8. Inside the Church on Cashel:
9. Old abbey in the countryside:
10. Cahel Castle(closed for winter):
11. Cork:
12. Blarney Castle, A must see just for the gardens:
13. More of Blarney:
14. More of Blarney:
15. The witches kitchen at Blarney:
16. Blarney Gardens:
17. Drombeg Stone Circle (In the middle of nowhere, one lane dirt road):
18. The Bantry House (also closed, I dont even know if we were supposed to be on the grounds):
19. More Bantry:
20. Cool staircase(wanted to go to the top but didn't want to get spotted by the grounds people):
21. More Bantry:
22. My little rental on a mountain "Highway":
23. Killarney National Park (This whole area and the town are wonderful):
24. Ross Castle in Killarney (under renovation):
25. Muckross Abbey Graveyard:

30. More:
31. A moss covered tree in the arboretum:
32. Near the old boat house:
33. A lookout over the Killarney:
34. King John's Castle in Limmerick (way to commercialized, wouldn't recommend):
35. Knappogue Castle (in the middle of nowhere and closed but one of the neighboors was kind enough to let us climb over the gate):
36. Cliffs of Moher (so windy I could hardly hold the camera still):
37. Those little white things are seagulls to give you an impression of size:
38. If you look closely it's a very curvy road on the way to Galway:
39. Dunguaire Castle (didn't even know it was there, we just got lucky and drove past it):
40. A small town across the lake from the castle (I couldn't capture it well because I don't know how to use a camera, but it made me want to move there badly):
41. I think this was the original city gate near trim castle:
42. Malahide castle near Dublin (closed of course):
43. Back to America aboard Aer Lingus:
Overall a very fun trip. The driving was exciting on those tiny roads and I was getting a little cocky towards the end. For castle lovers, not the best time to go because many were closed and others were under scaffolding. I still wish I had more than a week there so I could have visited the northern half of the island and a lot more in between. Thanks for looking!
