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!

Thanks for the comments, Mad Aussie, we have castles lots and lots of castles! LOTS!

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!

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.

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