Change in the weather! After a few nice sunny days, Autumn is really setting in - the darker mornings and evenings - the leaves changing colour, and the cold wet and windy weather.
Still compared to many other parts of the world, we're really blessed here in Ireland ....
Budget coming on Tuesday next - though these days, we seem to know most about it before it is actually announced. Still we'll all be glued to the news programmes ....
Between Bike Sheds and Security Shelters - the mind boggles at the amounts of money being thrown at these projects when so many other things need the funds....
Get Well Wishes
to Sr. Geraldine!
Hope to see you back in action again soon
St. Mary's Camera Soiree
This week Anna was in O'Connell Street and submitted a photo of the 'infamous' Portal, an interactive installation created by Lithuanian artist Benediktas Gylys to allow people in New York City and Dublin to interact with each other. Despite the initial bad press the installation has apparently been a huge success on both sides of the Atlantic.
Josie reminded us that Summer is gone with a photo of her last Sunflower and submitted another photo that filled me with nostalgia, her two grandchildren picking blackberries. While the crop seems to be abundant this year the berries have been ripening a bit late because of the Summer we have had.
The photo reminded me of my own childhood and also put in mind Seamus Heany's beautiful poem 'Blackberry-Picking'.
Donal sent us a number of photos taken along the river Tarn , in particular the town of Albi which is located about 85km north-east of Toulouse. The episcopal city, around the cathedral was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 2010 for its unique architecture and the UNESCO site includes the Musée-Toulouse-Lautrec, dedicated to the artist who was born in Albi. The museum is located in the 13th century building that was originally the bishop's palace.
Stay safe until next time!
