I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE ON THIS PHOTO;
FROM PADMACARA, ADMIN OF 60+SENIORS SHOOTING GROUP [opt out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
" Would you please not re submit this blurred landscape to the 60+ etc etc again. you got it in 178 other groups but your not going to get it in to ours!
If you do resubmit it I will remove you from the group "
PADMA.
This individual admits that he is no photographer yet he sees himself somehow qualified to judge others as an administrator.He should be blocked! His group has 597 members. My photo has more views and actually more Faves than the majority of photos in his pathetic little group!
I would advise that you avoid this "person" and his group.
Just as well hes in Austrailia! By the way" its" name "Padma" is a rascist slur on Irish people! Id love to see him use it here in Ireland!
Within 5 minutes of this I received another message from another administrator who moaned at me about people who put photos in wrong sections of groups. I have not got a clue what they are talking about.
I then received another unsolicited message from another opt out group founder member who proceed to instruct me on how to take a landscape photo! His ones are manafactured on a computer, by the way!
I have responded to these 3 abonoxious, grossly ignorant fools and so far there has been no response.
I wish to thank the 5369 people who looked at this photo,
The 327 who have Faved it, and the 42 people who commented
and finaly 177 groups that found this photo perfectly acceptable.

The Holy Ground
" I was born on the holy ground,
A running boy in fields of clover,
Living in the grandeur of,
My fathers land ".
" For I could not stay where the city streets,
Prounced so loudly mans endeavour,
Though music is a pretty thing,
In fine company "
" By the side of a swirling sea
I spend my days in childhood wonder
I held the rocks in my young hands,
I never felt them slip away "

Ive had this selection of photos on my computer for a year and a half and Ive only put them up here lately. I do like them but being "green" I thought there was too much brown in them. Ive been proved wrong though as apparently brown is ok too!! I should thank Van "the man" Morrison really!
It takes me about 20 minutes to drive to a parking spot on the Roundwood road, at Glasnamullan wood where I start this walk up White Hill [620m] on the Wicklow Way. There is a holy well close by where I park, but it was sealed years ago because of health and safety. megalithomania.net/show/site/51/Glassnamullen.htm Its a pity as the old stile and stone steps leading to it by the small river. Its a very pretty place to sit and its below the road so its very quiet. Ive found the position of the well and Id love to open it and have a look. Of course, these wells would probably be pagan in origin and would have been places of pigrimage for the ancient Celts untill the Christian Church wiped out all traces of our culture, or tried to! There are always cures associated with these places and all sorts of aiments could be cured such as warts and rhumatism or notions about being a good photographer!!! Some were dedicated to the godess " Sheela Na Gig " who was an ancient fertility godess and women used to use the water in the hope of becoming pregnant. There is a Sheelas well in Delgany but its now also sealed.
Heres a link; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheela_na_gig
I always walk up through the wood as an approach to White Hill. Its full of red deer and Ive seen red squirrels there as well but they are very shy creatures.I heard my first greater spotted woodpecker in Ireland there about two years ago.
Eventually it comes to a fence which I climb and it brings me out of the wood which you can see in the photo. Its pretty boggy but once I get across the small stream, its easy to follow the deers trails which criss cross the place and can be seen as green tracks in the pic. I do a circular route that takes about 2 hours. The photo is taken looking east, at the start of the climb, towards the Sugarloaf and the Irish sea. However there is a lot more to it as when I took this I was living in Greystones beside the sea. I have now moved 6 miles s/w and further inland. The large hill on the extreme right, is Mount Kennedy and Im now living just below it to the left, in Newtownmountkennedy. Small place with a big heart and a huge name!
If you zoom in on the left hand side you can see the Scots ridge way pines which were used by the RAF and Luftwaffe during the war as direction and location reference points as they can be seen 30 miles out to sea off the coast of Wales, UK. They are heros and my favourites!! See my Scots Pines album [They Also Serve] for the story.
Sat, 17th March is St. Patricks Day and Im planning a bit of a celebration. Im going to Dublin to the parade which is truly something. Lots of people come here for it. The majority would be German followed by English,American, Asian and Australian. Its a great party and everbodys Irish for the day, and I love that!! Anyway I lived in England for 20 years,An uncle was in the NY fire brigade, another one married Gretel who was a German lady and Sean O Brien, an ancestor was sent to Austtralia in 1846 for sheep stealing. There were rumours though and I have my own theory!!! Lol!!! Behave!!!
So I hope you like the photo and if you want too know anything about the place Id love to tell you.
And here is a link to where I lived, am now and the mountains.
