Some tourist guides claim that “no trip to Dublin is complete without a visit to one of the city’s most famous landmarks, Dublin Castle”. However, many visitors are more than a little disappointed when they visit Dublin Castle because it does not meet their expectations as to what a castle should look like. Be warned, if you are expecting the sort of castle that you see in fairy tale books or Disney films you are going to be disappointed. To appreciate a visit you need some understanding of the history of the castle.
About The Series: The focal press guides, usually but not always written by the indefatigable W. D. Emanuel are a treasure trove for collectors of cameras. Not for the sections on how to use individual cameras (which do, however contain a great deal of good sense) but for the descriptions of different models. They are the first source to go to if you want to know the difference between (for example) an Ensign Selfix 16/20 Model I and an Ensign Selfix Model II or how many elements the Trinar lens in your Regula camera has

I have taken three of the “Beijing Seat in Coach” package tours from www.tour-beijing.com/coach_tours/ and can highly recommend them. The air-conditioned busses were great; the meals included have been very good overall, and the tour-guides knowledgeable and friendly.
To my great surprise on this occasion, instead of a bus picking us up at the hotel, there was a private car with driver and our tour guide, Barbara!
When we booked the Mutianyu Great Wall tour, I chose it on the basis that it was less popular and had fewer tourists, thus a better opportunity for me to get “tourist free” photos… and less of the crowds and noise one usually experiences at most Chinese tourist attractions.
We were the only ones who had booked the tour that day so we got the VIP treatment. There was some pressure to “up-sell” us to include the Ming Tombs, which were not included in the original package, and I gladly accepted due to the nature of this more private tour which gave us more time to explore at the Great Wall rather then being part of a heard of tourists. In this case, the Great Wall was almost deserted and as a result, a very enjoyable experience.
The day went very well with Barbara entertaining us in the car recounting details of the history and culture of the various places we were visiting. The lunch she arranged was very good and served to us in our own private dining room!
The whole experience was rather pleasant and special until we got back to the hotel… when Barbara demanded a tip for herself and the driver. I pointed out that tipping was not customary or expected in China and was voluntary… she insisted that tipping was expected of foreigners and was quite aggressive about it… so I gave them Y20 each which she obviously felt was inadequate. This left a sour note to the end of an otherwise wonderful day as none of the previous tour guides from this company had even hinted at a tip and tipping is not expected or encouraged in Chinese culture where foreigners are usually considered as guests in the country to be treated in the same way as one would treat guests in one’s home.

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Impure hearts stumble
In my hands they crumble
And fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore
Loved by numbers
You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers detached
I can't feel you anymore
There's sunshine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold
and confused with no guiding light left inside
You were my guiding light
And comfort and warmth can't be found
I still reach for you
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold
and confused
With no guiding light left inside
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
And there's no guiding light left inside
There's no guiding light in our lives
