I'm on my first overseas trip, and Belfast was my first destination. It strikes me as a delightful city with many charms. Unfortunately, I only had a few days there before moving along.

I have to catch up on all the recent posts! I've just been out shooting and with my film-only workflow (for personal work) things are a teeny bit slower. I did finally get my hands on an SA-30 roll film adapter for my Nikon scanner though so I'm very excited about that! I also am finally going to have my first M3 to shoot with (not that I need another body).
Anyways here's a couple from last week, walking around Laguna Beach with the MP and Zeiss 50mm Sonnar on HP5.
Trinity College, The Old Library, above the Book of Kells exhibit. I didn't expect to be impressed by a really old book -- historical artifacts tend to be more interesting as evidence of historical story, at least to me -- but am very glad I saw this. Astounding work of art.
Guinness Storehouse, aka Tourist Trap. I can't disparage the beverage, but there were only two redeeming things about this destination: first and foremost, the architectural and information design that was employed to create this ~7 floor exhibit about the history of Guinness, and, secondly, the view of Dublin from the top. This is from the floor below, where they serve food as well as beer.
I agree with your insightful comments on the
Guinness tour. If you have time I think
you would find the Jameson's Distillery tour
less of a fairground experience.
Hej, Joakim - Your morning shots remind me of when, as a child, I went to school in Hägersten, that in December, when I left for school at 8:15am and came back home at 3:30pm, it was this dark.
Just south of the town of Prachuab Khirikhan, this picture is taken on the main street of the little town of Khlong Wan. To the left is a restaurant and to the right is a shophouse. Thailand must have one of the highest per capita consumptions of plastic bags in the world, and scenes such as these are common.
