Good bye Ireland... :(

Lazy Day Cafe's Christmas Cheer

the only one still alive

well, on this bush anyway

Blackrock: It still can perplex me

the sign for this place indicates an auto repair shop

Lazy Days Cafe

this cafe is right next to me and it's a constant temptation. constant

A Church in Blackrock

The Night Before Halloween

Ilsa

so polite

it hailed so much that it accumulated!

Walk to the Bus

Towards the bus stop

homeward bound

It was Raining a lot today

Spiderwebs and Garden

I had other concerns

so I pass these cats like everyday, right? and they're usually just lazily sunning themselves in the exact center of this driveway, yeah? and the instance I took the lens cap off, they woke up and walked towards me...

Happy October

,This country LOVES walls!

As you can see, I'm looking normal in the sun.
also visible is my new lab coat in the background.

My Mondays are supremely uninspiring

Silva
on the road i take everyday for the bus

Slept In

An Irish Pet
First night picture. Newman Building, Belfield campus aka the building that holds ALL my classes

most addictive snack/dessert EVER. they are mallows, glace fruits, crispy rice, and biscuit pieces smothered in chocolate
should be illegal

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

Another Day

National School or the former gate to it. now it's this elaborate gate looking thing sitting upon a concrete wall. I walk by this everyday

Seriously, does any soy milk in the US have an ingredient list this short?

sorry it's a bit late tonight, culture activities that i didn't bring my camera to

By the Sea

Low Tide. this is when the locals come out and walk their dogs. (enlarge to be able to see the local and his/her/hir's 2 dogs

high tide. the bit of land across from Blackrock's shore. it seems to not be an island despite my first impression

Clearly, this is not a bathing area. enlarge this one for a view of all the loading docks and such in the distance. despite all this stuff, i've not seen any ships go by this coast...

You take a little stones staircase over this wall to get right next to the sea

Thinking of Titles is Harder Than Taking Pictures

Blackrock

i seriously don't understand this dorm. why was the sculpture survey in this dorm? (no sculpture, at all) and what does it say to do to the sign? ship? snip?

Wandering

My campus is not really pretty but it has little trees growing out of its roof

Pearse St. DART station

Old lamp, new building

Pretty Corner Building #2398574

Random star in belltower.
this is a presbyterian church w/ tesserae....

What is not Art?

Touristy shot? the life jacket conveniently placed in front of it

these kinds of shots should become my ireland trademark! it's so hard for me not to take them!

Chimney

Tiny little chapel thing in Blackrock

Best building takeover ever.

Blackrock, Ireland

Town Centre, Shopping area

Along the Sea

From the Park

From a crack in between the stones

Best Beware of the Dogs sign ever
