Yet another scene showing the old A93, at this point it's about to leave the gorge though through those trees you can see some rather impressive cliffs - though to due to the amount of foliage in the way I wasn't able to get a good photograph of them.
2013 update to the description: I must have been drunk as shit when I wrote the original description as it doesn't make much sense, does it? Basically, if you wander off into the trees here, you'll see that the Craighall Gorge has some pretty amazing cliffs slightly further upstream. I even managed to photograph them in February of 2011.
One of my first attempts at my new app, Monochromia, for group challenge. So far, it's quite fun!

This was the giant cocktail shrimp that had the crowds ooh-ing and ahh-ing. Quite a generous shrimp (6-1s?) topped a mixed shrimp cocktail (a little soupy and quite briny), paired with some tortilla chips for crunch and added volume, as well as dusting of baby herbs and a wedge of lime. Unfortunately, the prized specimen in my cup was fairly disappointing: messy shelling job (the tail was nearly ripped off), and de-veining (nothing's quite like seeing the fat rope of the digestive system) and the shrimp (although toothsome), a little fishy (i.e. Cantonese = mui).

Gion Matsuri, 17 July
(1st float) Naginataboko 長刀鉾
The bigger floats weigh up to 12 tons (24k pounds). They have to turn 90° at parts of the parade. For the turning, craftsmen only employed for the turning use bamboo and water. If everything goes well, a float will be turned 90° in 2 steps, sometimes it also takes 3, 4 or 5 steps.
Anyway, this part is one of the most interesting to see in the Gion Matsuri.

I got four copies of the official set. Then I built them a lot of extra stuff. It's an army!!!
Tatra T6A5 units 1224 & 1230 were about to make a left turn at the end of Rooseveltova, Brno while working a DPMB Line 10 service to Ečerova.
Delivered in 1995, both of these tram units were in service with DP Praha, 1224 as 8655 and 1230 as 8672, until their move to Brno in 2020.

Bangor RFC v Donaghadee restart catch
Crushing win against the Dee
by Roger Corbett
In a keenly anticipated local derby, Donaghadee briefly took the lead by 3-8, until Bangor produced what is becoming something of a trademark in turning the game around, and responded with a further 53 unanswered points to win convincingly by 56-8.
The sun certainly shone on Upritchard Park on Saturday – our final corporate lunch of the season, glorious playing conditions, the earlier loss to Donaghadee avenged with style, and the 6 Nations secured in Paris. Also among the large crowd of spectators who lined the touchlines were Ulster stars Craig Gilroy and Mike McComish. With the pitch in perfect condition, and the weather conditions glorious, the scene was set for a great afternoon’s sport.
Like Bangor the week before, Donaghadee were catching up with their fixtures, and this marked their third game in 8 days. However, nobody would have thought it as they took the game to Bangor straight from the kick-off. Within a couple of minutes, they had forced a penalty in front of Bangor’s posts, which was successfully converted. However, this was soon cancelled out when the Dee conceded a penalty which Mark Thompson kicked to level the scores at 3-3 after just 6 minutes.
Worryingly for Bangor, the Dee back line were working well together and finding gaps through the centre of play. With 16 minutes gone, the Dee continued to press forward having once again broken through the Bangor line. Some slick passing from right to left found the Dee winger who ran in to score the first try of the day in the left hand corner and, with the conversion missed, re-take the lead by 3-8.
Having let the earlier game at Donaldson Park get too far away from them, Bangor knew that a quick response was needed. Most of the following play was in the Donaghadee twenty two, with Bangor patiently building their attacking platform. Although several waves were repelled by a stubborn Dee defence, persistence finally paid off when Andrew Jackson was driven over the line to score and level the scores once again.
Another successful penalty, this time by Neil Cuthbertson, put Bangor narrowly in front by 11-8 as the first half drew to a close.
One often wonders what magic words (or otherwise) are conjured up in the team huddle at half time. It may sound simple, but when play resumes Bangor appear to have identified the problems of the first half, and put together a plan to correct these in the second. As the Dee re-started the game, it is unlikely that their half time talk prepared them for what was to come.
Having immediately raised the tempo, an early Bangor attack was halted by the Dee centre killing the ball, and earning a yellow card as a result. From the penalty and subsequent line-out that followed, the well-proven ‘catch and drive’ was put to good effect, with Jamie Clegg getting the ball down in the right hand corner. The kick was missed, making the score 16-8.
At this early stage in the second half, the game was still wide open. Donaghadee’s big forwards worked hard in both the set pieces and rucks, but the positional kicking was not always as effective. On one such occasion, the high ball was safely taken in the Bangor twenty two by Richard Corbett who brought play infield before passing to Jason Morgan in the centre. Having then split the Dee back line with a great injection of pace, Morgan passed to full back Josh Devitt who had the simplest of runs to score under the posts. With Cuthbertson adding the extras, Bangor’s lead had stretched to 23-8.
It took just another 3 minutes to add a fourth try, and with it the bonus point. Once again, the move started deep in Bangor territory, with Mark Widdowson jinking his way towards the 10 metre line. Although well tackled, he managed to off-load to Morgan who advanced the move towards the Dee twenty two. Although Morgan’s path to the line was blocked, he made a well-timed pass outside to Curtis Stewart who came steaming up the left wing to score. The conversion was missed, but in the space of 10 minutes, Bangor had secured the bonus point and taken complete control as their lead was now 28-8.
As some Dee heads started to drop, and with a quarter of the game remaining, Bangor now went for the jugular. Another good combination of ball-handling and support play saw Morgan rewarded for his hard work, gathering a pop pass by Mike Weir to score under the posts. Jackson recorded his second try of the day 5 minutes later, rounding off a great move started by Ricky Armstrong, and then powerfully taken on by James Henly, before rounding the last defender to score. A further 5 minutes elapsed before Morgan got his second try, courtesy of an excellent run down the left wing by prop Phil Whyte. The rout was completed by Devitt who intercepted a loose Dee pass in his own twenty two before running the length of the pitch to top off a sparkling performance. With Cuthbertson converting all these tries, the final score had leapt to a comprehensive 56-8 victory.
This was another great Bangor performance that completely justified the final result. For the Dee, this may just have been a game too far in such a short period. However, on current form, Bangor have shown themselves to be a force to contend with, and with just 2 more league games remaining, will want to maintain this form and finish hard on Portadown’s heels. For Donaghadee’s part, their recent run of good results has placed them safely in the middle of the table, and their focus now will be on a testing Towns Cup semi-final at Ballynahinch. It would be fair to say that despite our close rivalry, we at Bangor wish them every success.
