Another great Lucan Parade just passed! Well done to all the participants and organisers, and wasn't it brilliant that the sun shone!
Looking forward to next year already!
Proof of the weather - a beautiful blue sky over the Gospel Singers!
A lad and his goat were decked out for the occasion!
You never know what you might see at the Lucan Parade
Between a Triple Crown and an Oscar, Ireland certainly basked in glory last weekend.
The future is looking bright on many fronts!
Spring Equinox occurs at 2.46pm this Friday 20th March, when we have equal day and equal night! The brighter days of Summer are very welcome ....
And then next weekend, we'll see the clocks change to Summertime ....
Road Works - they seem to be coming to an end in many estates, with much re-surfacing going on these days ....
NOTE!
Some items have been held over for next week's issue, due to pressure on space.
St. Mary's Camera Soiree
This weekend the photographs are by one of the members of the Soiree and they come from Taiwan. Anna is there at the moment and she sent the Soiree five photographs from that country. The members of the Soiree back home were stunned at their beauty particularly the one of the skyline of the city of Taipei, the capital of Taiwan.
The tower is called Taipei 101 and is a 508-meter, 101-story, skyscraper in Taipei. It was the world's tallest building from its opening in 2004 until it was dethroned by the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai in 2009. Today it ranks as the 11th tallest building in the world. It costs approximately 30 euro buy a ticket to go to the 87th floor observation deck (in 37 seconds!), with fast-track access.
The photograph with the black and white floor is of the Central Railway Station in Taipei, built in 1987 and renovated in 2011. It is the busiest transport hub in Taiwan.
The remaining photos were taken in the city of Kaohsiung which is in the south of the island, just below the Tropic of Cancer. The city is Taiwan's third most populous and is a major international port. One photo is of the mouth of the river known as 'The Love” before it goes into the sea.
The other is of a quite road near a bustling night market in the city.
Stay safe until next week!
