A Bell is Ringing Shot earlier this week. For a wider view see http://www.mcdonegal1.com/Cityscape/City-Scenes-Ireland/7307318_r44n2n#!i=2503965816&k=mL2Fdb4 Friday 10 May 2013
Bishop's Ceremonial Crown Over 200 years old. Looks extremely heavy. Inside a class case so I got a lot of glare and reflection. The snow is gone but still bitterly cold. Thank you all for the tremendous response to Mac's portrait yesterday. Thursday 28 March 2013
Sugar Bowls We had the pleasure of having the first ever free guided tour of all parts of the Theatre Royal on Tuesday. This Waterford Crystal chandelier dates from the 1800's. It is one of three hanging in the Theatre Royal which at 220 years old is the oldest original theatre in Europe. Interesting facts learned on our culture tour these past two days :) Money ran out before the chandeliers were finished so the workers in Waterford Crystal banded together and supplied sugar bowls to finish them. So each candle (now bulb) is sitting in a sugar bowl. The blue is the reflection of the sky through beautiful large windows :) Thursday 21 March 2013
Fine dining in Bishop's Palace Bishop Charles Este, born in London in 1696, commissioned the renowned architect, Richard Castle, to design and build this building, described as one of the largest and finest episcopal buildings in Ireland. The building work was begun in the early 1740's but when Este died in 1745 the palace was unfinished and his successor, Bishop Chevenix turned to John Roberts to complete the work. http://waterfordireland.tripod.com/bishop's_palace.htm Free and unrestricted access yesterday as part of the Waterford Festival of Learning Thank you for the wonderful response to the wrapped tree Wednesday 20 March 2013
Wrap up as it's cold outside At least this tree is not feeling the cold! iPhone shot taken when on my walk yesterday. Tuesday 19 March 2013
Trawling Taken and processed by Phill Thank you for all the comments, views and stars last week. Everyone of them is very much appreciated. Monday 11 March 2013
La Fhéile Pádraig Shona Daoibh Happy St Patrick's day to you all. Sun is shining now but giving a chance of rain for the parade at 1pm :( Sunday 17 March 2013
Gaelic Harp Keeping with the Irish themed weekend. This one is made of Waterford Crystal With a resonating chamber usually carved from a single log – traditionally willow – and strung with wires of brass, silver or perhaps even gold, whose resonating strings were selectively damped, the extraordinary sweetness of this instrument was described in glowing terms by early writers. The best-known surviving example is the instrument on which Ireland's national emblem is based: the medieval harp preserved in the Long Room of Trinity College, Dublin. http://www.irishharp.org/about.htm Thank you for the great response to Shillelagh Saturday 16 March 2013
Water Jug & Bowl Taken through the window of an auction house. Thank you very much for the tremendous response to my Homesick post yesterday. Tuesday 19 February 2013
