This was my first Irish rainbow, after we’d driven from the airport in Dublin out to our hotel near Galway, dropped our stuff, then headed in for a walk around downtown Galway. We parked at the cathedral parking lot, the rain started, we began walking over the salmon weir bridge and the sun poked out to create a welcoming rainbow. Typical Ireland, it seems 🙂
Some views of late-summer dawn over Gosport Harbor, taken from Star Island and showing both Cedar Island and a part of Smuttynose Island as well. A small celebration of the fact that at home in northern Europe, we’ve nearly reached that yearly solstice corner where the number of minutes each day on which the sun is above our horizon will start increasing again, for the next six months at least 🙂
I had every intention of getting back to photograph these lovely alleys of trees a bit later as the color of the leaves advanced further. Then we had weeks of rain that detracted from trying to take photos along with knocking off all the leaves. Oh, well – next year.
Sculpture in that previously mentioned “Parc Royal” of Brussels. Sits right next to the actual royal palace, but I didn’t manage to get over there for a shot of it. Sorry…next time?
(so much world, so little time....)
