Basel Fasnacht
One thing that was impressed with was the party atmosphere, alcohol drank on the street, music everywhere, all age groups having fun, and no trouble at all, amazing really, would never happen in Ireland anyway!

Who's the second one down? Paul O'Shea having been told that Trapptoni is coming back?
Some great snaps from around Ireland (including Derry, Galway, Limerick, Cork and Dublin) in 1969: https://www.flickr.com/photos/intervene/4055155940/
Took me a moment to recognise the town I live in in that! Great find.
Actually - that's more than a great find. Some super stuff in that. Love photos like those.
That photo of Portobello Harbour is brilliant.
Quality could be better, but here are some snaps I took on my camera phone during a drive around the Inishowen peninsula last time I was back home:

This was taken by someone I know earlier this evening, but I thought it a pretty striking photo.

Edit: Some more here.
Since I have to take a break from the football (Hamburg trip was a bit too mad for the wifey!), I now spend the weekend hiking for my penance!

Typical Irishman on tour. Living in a central European paradise and you still can't help but check out the local cattle.
ha ha yeah, guess so, and have a load of farming photos to show when I go home: "This is how they do the farming in Switzerland!"Quote:

The artwork is to be burnt down on Saturday night.
Sure it wouldn't be Derry if it wasn't burned down.. ;)
Say what you want about Ireland and how utterly ugly and soulless every town and city is compared to other European countries, but, if you know the right places to go, Ireland has scenery that could rival any country. You just have to leave urbanity behind.
I was watching an interesting BBC series called 'Imagining Ulster' the other night about the history of the Ulster(-Scots) identity and William Crawley, presenting and narrating, mentioned that Britain had secretly offered to agree to a united Ireland in principle during the Second World War if Ireland joined up with the Allies. De Valera rejected the offer, however, as there was no guarantee included and the reality of unity would still have to have been agreed by the "representatives of the government of Éire and the government of Northern Ireland". I was doing a bit more reading around this and came across a photo slightly similar to my own above in post #543 (indeed, there are plenty around the net) of Banba's Crown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_n...g_World_War_II
I'd often wondered what the large 'EIRE' marking at Malin Head was all about (I wasn't able to get close to it, but it looks to be made out of stones?) and having seen someone latterly add 'UP DONEGAL' in smaller lettering beneath it, I'd assumed it was just some sort of pride "graffiti", but it turns out it was actually a marking to alert passing military aircraft to neutral Ireland during the war.
Some further 'Temple' views:

Ballymastocker Bay from Knockalla Mountain, Fanad.
Many a summer day spent at Knockalla beach as a youngster. What a beautiful spot it is.
Guess where in Ireland:
