My original comment about this high cross read as follows: As you walk along a lonely country lane from the LUAS tram stop at Laughanstown to the old church at Tully the first thing of note that you will see is a well preserved high cross. The cross was saved from destruction by James Grehan in the later part of the nineteenth century. The road next to the cross was being lowered and James Grehan had this small wall built and the cross placed upon it at it's original height.
Today it is nearly the end of 2017 and I have just realised that Dublin [Greater Dublin] is now changing faster than I can photograph the changes and as a result I really do need to review my programme for 2018. I think that the changes are more rapid than in the Celtic Tiger period.
Today as the sunlight was magical I decided to use my 15mm Voigtlander with my new Sony A7RIII body and I was more than a little bit surprised by the results. I am now convince that the Sony A7RIII is very much superior to the A7RII. Also while I was inclined to avoid using the Voigtlander 15mm until now I must confess that I was really impressed by it when combined with the A7RIII.
Every time I publish photographs of Laughanstown I receive mail advising me that I made a spelling error and that the name of the area is Loughlinstown. I am one hundred percent certain that there is no tram stop named Loughlinstown but to be fair I cannot blame anyone for being confused as it could well be argued that Laughanstown is in Loughlinstown.
Today, I met a very helpful lady on the tram who was convinced that I was totally confused about my destination. Even when I showed her photographs of the old church and graveyard she was not at all convinced that I was not confused.
I think that I last visited the area about a year ago so I was not really expecting to see any changes. In the past I was able to access the historic sites via a narrow country lane. Today I was a bit disappointed to discover that access to a really old historic cross was barred because of a major redevelopment. I met a gentleman, walking his dog, and was surprised to discover that he was East European [he look like a local farmer and I suspect that he actually was a farmer] but he explained to me that the area was being redeveloped as a public park with a major road passing through it and that I could only gain access to the site from Carrikmines. As the sunset was approaching I decided that it was best to come back at a later date.
[UPDATE... Further Research Resulted In The Following Information]
Tully Park is located at the centre of the Cherrywood development, and the park itself is centred on the ruins of the Tully Church and Graveyard. Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park.
Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections.
Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone which includes a large play area for kids, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns, meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.
Tully Park will be located beside a primary and secondary school. These schools and the local community will be able to avail of the outdoor recreational facilities and open space within Tully Park.

- RWE Power 510
Loc 510 trekt een volle, zwaar beladen kolentrein weg over de Hambachbahn.
Deze spoorbaan heeft een lengte van 21 km en is een deel van het bedrijfeigenspoorwegnet van de RWE. Dit spoorwegnet zou een totale legte van zo'n 300 km hebben.
Alle kolentreinen die ik hier zag rijden hadden elk 14 wagons dia allen beladen waren met 90 ton steenkool.
Speciaal aan deze locomotieven is dat de stuurcabine buiten de trein uitsteekt.
Intussen heb ik gevonden waarom dat is. Deze treinen hebben namelijk drie stuurstanden. Een in het midden, voorwaarts gericht. En nog twee, een aan elke kant van de loc, die achterwaarts gericht zijn. Hier, op de Hambachbahn, rijden de treinen steeds voorwaarts omdat er hier keerlussen zijn. Op andere plaatsen van het RWE spoorwegnet zijn die er niet. Dan duwt de trein de wagons. De bestuurder blijkt dan in zijn loc te blijven zitten. Met die zijdelingse stuurposten krijgt hij aldus een beter zicht op zijn spoor. Als de trein geduwd word, weerklinkt er aan de eerste wagon een geluidssignaal ter waarschuwing.
Heel opmerkelijk was hoe stil deze zware gevaartes wel reden.

- RWE Power 510
Lok 510 zieht ein schwer beladen Kohlenzug über die 21 km lange Hambachbahn. Diese bahn ist ein teil der betriebseigene Eisenbahn der RWE, mit eine gesamte totallange von ca. 300 km.
Alle Züge die ich hier gesehen habe hatten allen 14 Wagons, jeder beladen mit 90 ton Braunkohle.
Bei jeder der Loks war der Führerstand breiter als der zug. Aufmerksam war wie leise al diese schwere Züge gefahren sind.

Part of I object: Ian Hislop's search for dissent
(September 2018 – January 2019)
A wide variety of objects are on display in the exhibition – from graffiti on a Babylonian brick to a banknote with hidden rude words, from satirical Turkish shadow puppets to a recently acquired ‘pussy’ hat worn on a women’s march. See what tales these objects tell – sometimes deadly serious, often humorous, always with conviction. Unlock the messages and symbols these people used, and get closer to understanding them...
This history in 100(ish) objects shows that people have always challenged and undermined orthodox views in order to enable change. They even did so despite the establishment usually taking a pretty dim view – for most of history you could expect a gruesome punishment, up to and including death, for this kind of subversive behaviour. This suggests that maybe we are programmed to dissent – it’s just part of who we are. Ultimately, the exhibition will show that questioning authority, registering protest and generally objecting are an integral part of what makes us human.

Here is a link to the Smarthistory video: www.khanacademy.org/humanities/art-1010/abstract-exp-nysc...
In the video, commentator Steven Zucker said that "these are almost clouds of forms that exist in some sort of space of their own construction." What would it be like to exist only within the space of your own construction, the space of your own mind? Rothko himself said that if people really understood his paintings, they would weep when viewing them. This sounds like he's saying that we don't really, deeply, feel what his paintings are about, doesn't it? After all, imagine that you'd just seen this painting in person. Do you think it would have moved you to tears? Are Rothko's paintings about a persevering in spite of isolation, the inability to be fully understand by another person? Is that what he supposed to be moving about his paintings?

Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
I had a visit from Bella. We had a lovely weekend although quite low-key - both nights out on Prince's Avenue.
We spent night 2 in Hoi chatting with a couple of lovely girls who were part of a DJ collective. Yasmin and Rose - they were fantastic company and it was brilliant to meet them!

Gemma came to Hull for the weekend and we went for our first visit to the Hull Comedy Lounge to see a few acts, including our friends Chris Lumb and Phil Smith, aka The Halls Of Ridiculous.
These days we generally try to get at the front, and this was no different - we were front and centre!
It was a great show and a really nice venue. We've been a couple of times since!
After the comedy we went for a couple of drinks at The Star.
