If you ever get the chance to come to Dublin you should make sure to visit Glasnevin Cemetery and it is recommended that you sign up for a walking tour. The tours give a valuable insight to this unique burial place and into the final resting-place of the men and women who have helped shape Ireland's past and present.
Daily tours of the cemetery at 2.30pm for Winter Months. Including Sundays & Bank Holidays
Glasnevin Cemetery, officially known as Prospect Cemetery, is the largest nondenominational cemetery in Ireland. It first opened in 1832 and is located in Glasnevin, Dublin.
This graveyard has been described as a hidden gem, not only because are there more Dubliners buried here than are currently living in the city. Some of those who found their final resting place in Glasnevin are amongst the most important historical figures of Ireland.
The cemetery contains many historically interesting monuments as well as the graves of many of Ireland's most prominent national figures — Pádraig Ó Domhnaill, Charles Stewart Parnell and Daniel O'Connell as well as Michael Collins, Éamon de Valera, Arthur Griffith, Maude Gonne, Kevin Barry, Sir Roger Casement, Charles Gavan Duffy, George Gavan Duffy, Constance Markiewicz, Brendan Behan, Seán MacBride, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, Christy Brown, Frank Duff, Luke Kelly of the Dubliners. Boyzone singer Stephen Gately was cremated at Glasnevin Crematorium, which is located within the cemetery grounds, on October 17, 2009.
The cemetery also offers a view of the changing style of death monuments in Ireland over the last 200 years: from the austere, simple, high stone erections of the period up until the 1860s, to the elaborate Celtic crosses of the nationalistic revival from the 1860s to 1960s, to the plain Italian marble of the late twentieth century.
The high wall with watch-towers surrounding the main part of the cemetery was built to deter bodysnatchers, who were active in Dublin in the 18th and early 19th century. The watchmen also had a pack of blood-hounds who roamed the cemetery at night. Prime Minister, Robert Peel, when questioned in Parliament on the activities of the body-snatchers, admitted that it was, indeed, a "grave matter".

Angry, I know! This is in response to the cackling bitch at work who has nothing better to do but make up stories about other people's lives only because she's miserable and bored!
I'm a pacifist and I hate gossip. I don't engage in conversations that damage the reputation of people. I will not help spread unfounded rumours to entertain myself. I HATE THAT about some women. Why do we do it? I hate being a woman sometimes because I get painted with the same stereotypical brush as these catty, cackling bitches.
On a different note, my finger looks really big. wow... I have discovered quite a few things during these self portrait sessions.

Here is some vector art that I did back a few months ago..
Since Bella Baby is showing us her wonderful art that she is doing I thought that I would show you a piece of my art..
The underwear is a little flat..but I still love the piece...
I've been getting a lot of requests lately to shoot families and children. I dig it. mostly because people seem to call me and just ask me to "do my thing". it's always really cool to see how they turn out. here's a few from one I did about a week ago.

26 August 2019, Bra, Italy - Nazarena Lanza Slow Food head of the Office for Africa & Middle East, introduces herself to the beneficiaries of the joint FAO and Slow Food Project at Slow Food headquarters in the city of Bra. Slow Food and the Food and Agrlculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) are organizing a study tour this week in northwest Italy for a group of Syrian small-scale women farmers. The two organizations have teamed up to enhance the skills of small-scale women food producers from Syria, all with the aim of supporting crisis-affected communities to regain or boost their livelihoods and reviving the country's agriculture sector. Ten Syrian women will learn from farming communities in Piedmont and Liguria regions that produce and promote local organic and artisan foods marked by high quality and respect for traditions. They are expected to gain knowledge on all aspects of production, marketing and value chains of a range of products - including dairy, honey, oil, cereals, breads and vegetables - and to pass on this knowledge to other women farmers in their communities upon their return. They will also be included in the global Slow Food network of local farmers so that they can continue learning and sharing knowledge and experiences.

Getting closer to the actual spot. This time, with the help of Peter, I have proved the location, but I am a little too south of where I should be. I couldn't trespass through the wire fence though. This picture taken from standing at 39.008726,-110.173039
...like their owners.
I've noticed that Panda drivers in Italy appear to be getting older, along with their cars.
This one was driven by a older gent.
I first captured this car in November 2010 (see below) but was parked in the same area. It didn't have the dented tailgate corner then.
Has it really been 4 years?
This Panda is running the same type of tyre as fitted by FIAT when new - Pirelli Winter 160 (Panda 4x4 geek? Yes).
This female, broad-tailed hummingbird is trying to shoo away a pesky male. There were several buzzing around in general and one turned his attention to her and was rebuffed.
Harris of Outer Hebrides is famed for its beaches. In truth, a fair part of its highly-indented coastline is very rocky. But where the coast of Harris is sandy, it does offer some of the very best beaches you will find anywhere. And perhaps the best of them all, certainly the largest and the most spectacular of them all, is Luskentyre Beach.
Luskentyre Bay bites deeply into the western side of South Harris. Although the isles are called Lewis and Harris, they are actually one single land mass. Luskentyre Beach is located just a few miles south of Tarbert. Tarbert is the capital of Harris, but it is also here that the island is so narrow that it almost becomes separated into two. Just like at Luskentyre, a deep indents have been carved so far into the land on both coastal sides of the island, that they almost meet in the middle to separate Harris and Lewis into two islands.
At high tide much of the bay is submerged, becoming part of the Sound of Taransay and looking out to the island of Taransay. This island gained media recognition after a BBC television programme based a group of people here for one year to live on the island's resources as 'castaways'.

i am tall , dark & not so hansom ,,,,,hi as you probably know my names michael mcgregor (infinityplusone). i have for sometime now , been trying to get my infinity plus one out to the public , but there has been a few unseen hurdels that i have/must get over. i have been told that i would be knighted (dreaming , but a nice dream) for what i am about to explain , but unfortunately for me there are people who are totally against its release . now understand fully that infinity plus one is not just a mathematical solution but the answer to ''THE BIRTH OF THE UNIVERSE'' . many/most/all religions are against its publication because it disproves GOD (if you think of the possibilities of a GOD then they are infinitly against), it means the bible is inpart lies with an unhappy ending (its not so much the religion , it is the type of people that has been woven into the fabric's of some religion's that makes my shudder to the bone) .infinity plus one / birth of the universe , i have known since i was 10yrs old , a time in my life that unbeknowen to me so much had happen'd . that's how long i have been telling people . one of the most complex things about what i am about to say/explain , is the only person that's meant to explain this is someone ''specail himself''. the main reason for me going to such lengths to get this out is to see my children(alex , tom). i could go into it but it would in itself get complex , let's just say we are not all equal . now my (ipo) infinity plus one is based entirely on fact & possibility's . so what i came to know is , at some stage 'regardless' there was NOTHING & something had to of come from nothing to make a beginning . after all time is a measurement & you need something to exist in order to measure it. so my job was to think of all possibility's , without exception (everything). so all i had to do was a process of elimination , i broke it down to two choices POSSIBLE or IMPOSSIBLE (it sound's in a way 'as simple as that' but when you combine it with every possible thing you can reach a very high number). it sounds like an almost impossible task but that's what i done , i thought of everything & at the end there was only one thing possible, 'highly improbable' , but the only possible answer, & in that sense it was simple to work out , being the ONLY possible answer , ment the ONLY possibility. to give you a few examples= was it a chair , no because someone would have to exist in order for the chair to be made . was it GOD = no because something would have to exist in order for god to be made , did god suddenly just appear = no because what did he appear from . the only 'possible answer' is that the 'smallest possible thing' (microscopic) appears for the 'shortest possible time '(Milli second).i am talking about a piece of time that's so quick that you can not measure it without the aid of a computer & a size that small that you would need the best microscope to see . a freak of nature , with possibility at its limits. but still the ONLY possibility (the only possible answer = the answer). so you have this endless vacum void with nothing ,then this smallest/quickest speck of dust existing for the smallest amount of time possible . i know that the odds of this happening are huge (billions to one) but still the only possible answer .you might at this point think 'ok then , s o what if it does' . well a lot really . this meen's that there was never infinity untill infinity plis one happen'd , because with these specks appearing for the shortest time , in their own right , they where their own infinities , time & time again . not only that but it makes it totaly possible for othere universes to exist out with our knowen universe's , because for our infinity plus one to happen in an infinit void does not meen it was the first to happen in a infinit void ,there could be universes way in advance of our's (in any concevible direction) because as i will come to explain , if you can get one from nothing , then you can get infinity from one(infinity X nothing = nothing) , because once you have come to accept this then what else is to be explained is simple to understand . so you have once again got this microscopic dust suddenly appearing for the shortest moment happening every so often through out the entire universe . well there was infinity of nothing & if you mix infinity with odds possibly in excess of a billion to one then , not only do you get a certainty of it happening , but you get the certainty of it happening again & again . until one time you get two of these specks happening at the exact same time & space (infinity plus one) now that's the beginning of time , because if you get two anythings occupying the exact time & space only one thing WILL happen ''BANG'' (explosion) . what will happen is tiny debris will be created from the BANG & they will be PERMANENT (the first thing to exist) & the chances that it will happen will be greatly increased.because when they become permanent they will be there for the next tiny speck to appear briefly for the shortest , quickest time & if it appears on/in something permanent then again you get anothere ''bang'' & the chances of it happening again are yet again greatly increased & so on untill you have a near infinit number of these carbon debries . all within reach of each othere now this is where you need to use some imagination because the way i see it is , when i look at the shape of any world/plannet it is round with out exeption , so i am geussing that all the carbon debries would have gathered in a spherical shape and bound tighter and tighter each time gathering heat (remember a diamond is carbon) and the first plannet was created , then the plannet would at some stage expand then implode with age (the first big bang) it will in it's self be an end but within it's possibilitys become part of what we will come to know as the beggining of what we know today ' EARTH ' . now it might not seem that impressive to you but lets look at the statistics , &;may be they shine a different light on whats been going on & . the debris from the bang is not a given amount , what i meen by this is after the first little bang their was not a set number of debrie, but we can for certain say it is at the very least ONE (1) & that's a fact (it must be at the very very least one). so we have got one (1) from nothing (0) because before the bang there was nothing (0) & after the bang we have at the very least one(1). before the bang there was an infinite time of nothing because if you add up infinite/infinity x nothing (0) = nothing (0) , it is as simple as that , any number x 0 = 0 so infinity x 0 = 0 yet i have proved infinity plus one (1) from nothing (0) (ipo) = infinity plus one because infinity X one (1) = INFINITY but getting one (1) from nothing THAT'S INFINITY PLUS ONE (INFINITY X 0 = 0 yet i have proved 1 = infinity plus 1 & . now if you think of the last number of infinity , its impossible you cant . so in doing so i have proved the impossible to be possible , with infinity plus one .because infinity x 0 = 0 yet i have got plus 1 that's infinity+1 a number bigger than infinity = PROOF OF THE IMPOSSIBLE , making the impossible possible with infinity+1. in a way i find it funny because man/human kind has been saying it to each othere for a very long time (genneration's) because if you think of it , when you ever hear someone saying ''' YOUR MAKEING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING''' that is in effect infinity plus one , because you can say the word 'something' is not a number but the word 'something' is , if you think of it at the very least 1 . you have got 1 from 0 , infinity X nothing (0) = nothing (0) yet you have got 1 , thats infinity + 1 (the answer to everything and what's to come)
