Coming Soon...

Morocco!

Ceuta: the last European Stronghold



The walls of the fort had such excellent texture, I couldn't help but snap a few shots!

Fort in Ceuta.


The inside of the fort.




In the land of Spanglish: Gibraltar, Great Britain

Our trip to Gibraltar was excellent. Though it's far from mainland UK, the people are more British than the Queen herself. From pubs decked out in the Union Jack to Casinos rippling of capitalist strength, Gibraltar is home-away-from-home! Except, there are monkeys and EVERYONE is bilingual.


The famous apes of Gibraltar.


The sign above demonstrates inappropriate, dangerous behaviour around the apes.


So of course, he does just that.

View on the other side of the rock.
One side is basically a small city with a great marina and cute main street that, despite being a tax free region, was dear enough and the other side are some rich townhouses and some supposedly-excellent resorts.

Ok, I know it's silly, but Ross took some cute photos of me so I had to put them up.

The 'Low Road'


For Ross' cousin Jamie's wedding the family split up, 1/2 flying to Inverness and 1/2 taking the ferry from Belfast to Scotland, then driving through the scenic Scottish Highlands for about 7 hours. So they took the 'high road', and I took the 'low road', as the song goes....

Windshield wipers. The fluid actually was dripping all inside the car; it was gross.


In he Scottish highlands.

Glasgow.


A wheel in a shipyard.


Elsa Craig between Scotland and N. Ireland: £50 to visit.


A Scottish Affair

This was my first international wedding, and the kilts were so visually fun to photograph. I had a great time despite being limited to an old 50mm lens with no flash. Hopefully my lens will be fixed soon! (click on the pictures to get a better view)

Ross's Point and the Burren


A retreating Gale over the entrance to the Burren.


Ross and some graffiti.


The unique landscape of the Burren: a sheet of rock speckled with green.


Myself and the graffiti.
Looks like Benbulben, but is not.


A great portrait of Ross at Ross's Point, heheh.


The green green green hills of the Republic.
