1853

A couple of shots of an old building taken this morning, I have driven past this on many occasions but never stopped to look. It appears to be an old school house, built 1853.

Cave Hill

Not too far away, near Cave Hill Country Park, this evening as the sun was setting and the freezing fog was rising I stopped by the side of the road to take a few shots...



Carrickfergus Harbour

My hands were virtually frozen to the camera today walking around Carrickfergus harbour.
A few random photographs are attached below...







I love the signs of deterioration on some of the boats in the harbour, the distressed paint work, the rusting bolts, the colours and textures... the name of this one is also quite appropriate "Defiant" - it may be rusting with faded paint but it stands strong by the side of the harbour

Belfast Castle

I had a "free day" last week, so decided to take my daughter up to Belfast Castle for a quick run around. We have been to Belfast Castle on many occasions, partly because it is only about 15 minutes from our house and we love the place (My wife and I were married here)

I also have another wedding coming up at the castle towards the end of March, so any excuse to head up and have a look around.

My philosophy is "know your venue", and I now know Belfast Castle quite well...









The Italian style serpentine staircase




"Cat paws on the path"
The cat theme runs throughout the grounds of the castle.
