Month Anniversary

the campus cathedral that was converted into the most gorgeous modern library ever but one that was FULL of really, really QUIET business students studying

Exterior of Library

Still the library

Formal Garden

Proby House

Here I combine both an exterior and interior shot into 1 photo w/o post-production

Main Building...hmmm, i wonder what religion Ireland subscribes to

To keep the business students in or out?

and what's this building?

oh. well hmm...i wonder what this campus used to be

i've been here a month minus 2 days and still have not actually explored this campus i live on. mostly b/c the business students are frightening looking w/ their high power suits and stilettos. But I found the Blackrock Library, the school restaurant, and ignored the newer ugly buildings.

My Mondays are supremely uninspiring

Being Social and Swans

Swans do not like this kid's remote control boat

Ilsa, Ciaran, and Kelly cheering on the swans

Threaten the KID!

An attempt to find beauty at Belfield...

Dublin and Produce

Labeled a lemon...but it's tiny and tastes a lot like a lime

whatever these are, they look awesome

Also available, silhouette version! irish sunshine is more plentiful than expected

Glass and Enameled Tile aka Dublin's pubs have the prettiest/random 2nd floor windows

Obelisk

Tower

base

sign says "no climbing"

overgrown stairs

cleared out stairs

In the midst of restoration of mortar (and crow)

this was literally in the middle of suburbia (probably still in Blackrock). no clue what it is.

Mondays

First Sprouts of the season!
totally worth the maple syrup expense

Ireland has plants growing out of everything you can imagine. here it's the little globe on the top of the building across from the bus stop

Howth

Harbor with the largest seagulls I've seen

Junked fisher

Tide Measurement/Sun Angle Measurement?

Walls and birds

My destination, Howth Summit and the beginning of the "cliff walk"

I don't even want to know how expensive this house is, it's above the sea

Cliffs (I did climb to the top of this peak...the hard way)

Note the stick figure falling into the ocean...which is like 1/4 mile from this sign

It was crowded...I never went on those paths, i presume the women wearing heels went on those paths

More heights...the hard way was quite difficult up this

I scaled this wall

SPINY GREEN THINGS. i have no idea what these things are, but they get through corduroy and like 50 of them are in my hands from when i slid a little

went to the howth market, ate lots and lots of muras (wild blackberries), and took the hard way up and down cliffs. it was a great day.
