Runners passing what I think of as the “front entrance” to Vondelpark on marathon Sunday this year. (Front b/c it’s closer to the city center than the entrance near my old place, at the opposite end of the park near my old place.)

City Views.212

I acknowledge that I might have made time to edit out more of these photos. I did edit some down, but as you can guess, I’m quite charmed by Geneva. With so many photos remaining just from my first visit in mid-September, I’ve decided to splurge all that remain from that first visit on one big old-style Paul post. Enjoy. 🙂

Mountains.22

Diamond Hill, in Connemara National Park – taken as we neared the end of our hike up to the top and back, last week :-).

From The Air.32

I do so love when I can look out the plane window and see something that exactly corresponds to the map. This is the little bay just north of Norfolk. It’s on a fairly straight line between Amsterdam and Dublin, so we flew right over it en route to Dublin last week. Might’ve done on the way back as well, but, well, clouds…

Islands.42

As you’ll have deduced, I recently spent several days exploring a few corners of Ireland, which certainly lives up to its “Emerald Isle” handle based on what I’ve seen so far. This means my over-abundance of photos to share with you has grown more, so I’ve decided I need to post more of the shots left from that glorious late-summer week on Star Island nearly three months ago. For this post, I hope / think I’ve managed to include all the shots which include the island with the lighthouse, which the map tells me is White Island State Historic Site.

City Lights.42

So I took all the photos in this post on one early-October stroll around my neighboring park at the end of a desk-heavy work-from-home day. Not long after I’d realized I could start splurging my “city lights” photos because I was entering the season where Urban Garden entries would be harder to find than City Lights ones would. 🙂
