Awesome :D

Along with the second two ;)

C - more Ireland pictures, I take it? I really like pic no 3 in particular, very eye-catching, and the others are fine too. The way the lights and colours are in pic 1 give the photo a rather striking look - I was going to say "lunar", but I'm not sure that's the right word I'm looking for. I'm guessing that these were taken on film, as pics 1 and 3 in particular have a richness and depth of colour, plus a feel that digital hasn't yet managed to capture.

ireland: yes
film: no

the ones i took on film actually turned out terribly

thanks again btw

i made friends with him only to find out what a jackass he really is.


sorry that was terrible but i made friends with this donkey while i was there.

Nice pics Catanks, even the "massive twat" one .. you sure have changed a wee bit.
Ireland is ranked very high in my "must visit" list of countries, just below Japan and Scandinavian countries.

C - Re: the comment on your donkey pic - Ha ha! *comedy drumroll for C*

I'm still kicking myself for not taking decent pics of the Guinness Brewery in Dublin when I first went a few years ago.

Your "mural" pics (number 2) I take it is a Republican mural (Che Guevara w/Republican peoples). Even with the perhaps at times very dubious political connotations, some of the big Republican/Unionist murals in Northern Ireland are still very striking to this day.

i have no idea what it is but the murals in belfast were amazing.


melly i think the word you were looking for was not lunar but rather surreal or ethereal. maybe.

btw, what else cities did you get to visit in Netherlands besides Amsterdam?

i didn't go anywhere besides amsterdam, i didn't see the point. i went there for one reason and one reason only.

"Ethereal" is definitely closer to the mark, C. Something almost dreamlike about the pic, if you see what I mean, the colours being really vivid and almost, um, trippy I suppose. Amazing what beauty nature presents to us, isn't it?

yes. i wasn't so appreciative of it until i went there because i had never seen anything so uncorrupted by people.

i see. i'm asking because I've seen some more (Den Haag & Haartenwijk) and really loved those so I thought you might share some experience too

amsterdam was boring but the pot was gooooood

word. Amsterdam wasn't stunning at all. i even didn't visit a coffeeshop over there, had no time for it. i did visit one in Haartenwijk though and the hash was so strong i almost didn't make it out of the door.

Thank you EMMAh !
