Amazing structures. I'm not sure I even knew Ireland had castles like this. I like that 1st shot with it's slight vignette appearance.

Both are beautiful photos!

As I said on Flickr- lovely shots. That last one is Malahide Castle, isn't it? I was there about 4 years ago. It was a wonderful park and building.

Hi Bambi, that's again for the nice comment. You are correct it is indeed Malahide castle. I am very impressed there are people living near that castle that could not pick it out in a line up and you remembered it from 4 years ago. I have many photos of Irish landmarks we could play a game and see how many of them you recognise from your travles!

[okmqaz42]

Lots!

Not sure how I missed this thread so far but these are cool. #1 is my fav as I like the vignetting and I really like the lush green and the reflection in the pond.

[casil403]

Ditto on the first...love the reflections as well.

[Wicked Dark]

like a travel brochure, it makes me want to go in them!

[Rinkdaddy]

I love the first one as it seems to be framed very well between the greenery

[asnow]

I also love the reflections in the first one.

[Hillbillygirl]

Love them all Omqaz, but that first one is perfection. So well composed, and the reflection just makes it so much better. Very well done on all.
