Festival of World Cultures

Big congratulations to Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Coucil for their organisation of the wonderful festival of world cultures. There was a great atmosphere and great music to be found on the coast today. It was also nice to see the sun make a guest appearance!

Sax on the coast

A very long Teddy's queue!

A well populated peoples' park



Lots of interesting instruments on display!



Please buy our CD!


There were topless drummers...

...and barefoot dancers

And even sand sculptures!

I've decided (with more than little cajolement) that it's time to bring this blog back to life. Here's a photo to get the ball rolling. From Dun Laoghaire Pier in April this year. It wasn't a great sunset until the sun went down, but then the clouds really started to glow.

Miserable Day

Bandstand against the sky




Rainbow on the horizon, not seen anything like it before!



HSS and the Pidgeon House

A couple from today, really dramatic sky as a result of the miserable weather!

One from this Saturday's shoot, I'll post a few more tomorrow, decided for a less saturated/ granier/ dark edges (vignetted) look to bring out the 60's theme a bit more, might post the other version too to show the difference!
