Boxes

red mum — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:17:14 +0000

These coloured boxes hang from the ceiling in the atrium at the Maldron Hotel in Limerick where I stayed on Friday night. Just one thing for the Maldron, a king-size bed is NOT two single beds pushed together, thats a king-size stretch in my books.

Taken as our train left Limerick Junction on the way back to Dublin.

Capitol Hill

I’m attempting to do some kind of copyright notice on pics from now on, I’ve been intending to do it for some time and just haven’t decided what to do. I’m still not fully sold, but its probably the best way forward. I’ll have another go another night and mess about with the font, positioning, opacity etc. But this is it for now. Oh yeah and the pic was taken on Capitol Hill, Washington DC; a few more pics from the trip are lurking about in folders here and there. But I will NOT go near them until I clear my huge backlog, promise.

Washington DC

We got back from Washington DC on Tuesday afternoon and between work and everything else, I’ve been wrecked all week. On top of that my home internet has just constantly rejecting photographs for upload which has been a complete pain (not one pics was uploaded). But now I have mostly processed the pics I like best and I’ll get finished on the rest of them. I’m still playing catch up on lots and lots of pics dating back to November, but I am determined to get through them in the next week. Its gonna be a long week Anyway hope you enjoy this batch from last weekend and you can see more on Flickr.

This is just a quick post to say thanks for the blog awards nominations, I’m delighted. Make sure you check out all the blogs nominated which you can do here. I’m currently in Washington DC packing getting ready to get the flight home later. But in the meantime here’s a pic from the Lincoln Memorial which we went to see last night, I’ll be back with more

Love Etc competition

red mum — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:09:02 +0000

The Body Shop is running a photo competition on the theme of love to coincide with the launch of their new perfume, Love Etc. All you have to do is upload your photographs depicting love to their Flickr group; there’s also a Facebook group.

To launch the competition I was out at Dundrum Shopping Centre with Gingerpixel last week where shoppers had their photographs taken for entry in the event. (Kyle has also blogged about it.) You can see some of the pics from the day below.

The winner of the competition will receive dinner for 2 in the Roly Saul restaurant in Dundrum as well as a mega Body Shop goodie bag. (Unfortunately I was given a box set of the perfume myself which I promptly left behind me in the shopping centre, ah well at least someone got a surprise if they picked it up.

So what are you waiting for, start uploading your pics of love <3

Wide eyes and butterflies

red mum — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:41:37 +0000

This is a pal’s niece, Emily Rose, singing her own song Wide Eyes and Butterflies. Her dad apparently decided that he would send the demo to Radio Ulster and they played it. She has an amazing voice and this is well worth taking two minutes to check out. (Apologies if you already saw this on my twitter or facebook.)

Antony Gormley’s Another Place

red mum — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:26:24 +0000

I finally got my computer back late last week after its 6-week long illness, so I am now slowly but surely working through the folders of pics that have been put on the backburner over that time including this lot.

They were taken in Crosby, Liverpool which hosts the fantastic Another Place by Antony Gormley which is 100 cast-iron, life-size statues, modelled on the artist himself. They spread out over 3km of beach stretching out to the sea and are an incredible sight.

The day we were there, the sea was right in and the weather was absolutely manky which did make for a more interesting sky. So if are over in Liverpool make sure you pay a visit to Crosby beach, it is very special.
