The fluorescent green glow of a Dunnes Stores shop sign in Ballymoney, Antrim.
This green glow, for me, is quite synonomous with Dunnes Stores, the Irish department store chain.
My 2k walk for the day was unexpectedly located in Ballymoney today. Our return trip from Dublin, involving a train trip and two bus rides, was going relatively smoothly until we got to Ballymoney where our 4pm bus drove straight past the bus stop without stopping to pick us up. As a result we were stuck in Ballymoney for 2 hours waiting the next bus to Ballycastle.
Obviously I'm quite looking forward to getting a car, but I guess these unexpected things provided some new fodder for photographing.
I cranked up the aqua green tones here above. Notice how opposite rows of the windows, their colours emphasized here above, came out in two different colours?
If I count the buildings in the reflection, there are four buildings in this pic.

Remains of a crusader fortress built from October 1178 until March 1179. The cost of cutting the stones was 80,000 golden dinars, it is said that Saladin himself offered 100,000 dinars if the crusaders do not build it. The castle was maintained by the Templers, the masters of Safad on the east, and was built at a strategic point at the passage of the Jordan river. The crusaders never saw it finished. In the spring the fight between the crusaders and Saladin renewed, following a raid by the Crusaders on Muslim shepherds near Banias further north. On 25/08/1179 the army of Saladin appeared in front of the fort. Other forces were sent to the Galilee to set havoc. On 30 of August, five days after the beginning of the siege, an underground tunnel that was dug was big enough. Wood was placed and set on fire in the tunnel, and the roof collapsed with the tower of the fortress on top. Some 1000 people were in the fortress, most were slaghtered on the spot and some on their way to Damascus. Saladin stayed to eversee the destruction work carried out and finished.
