This lovely traditionally built granite house lies in the picturesque village of Hollywood, Co. Wicklow.
I dont think its a working farm anymore and it was probably bought privately. However, there are Swings and Slides in the garden to the right so there are children and happiness here. Now I love that.
Do hope you like too.

My Photo Stream. Do have a peek;
During the ice ages, most of northern Europe was covered by an inland ice that slowly moved across the landscape. This rock "moved" to Holland 100,000 years ago and is now back home, brought here by the artist Bart Eysink Smeets on the 23rd of October 2019 ! A crazy idea, but now the rock stands here on Lilla holmen !
After a cold night in the tent there's nothing like warming up to a hot sunrise ❄️ - ☀️

Granite erosion-control blocks along the Galveston, Texas, Seawall are pounded by the Gulf of Mexico surf on a summer morning.

Merry Christmas of course.
Cloudy afternoon in northern Norway, I know few people have time for flickr this weekend, and next week, and next weekend....., enjoy the holidays!!!
A closer look at just one of the huge granite tors that mark the summit of Beinn Mheadhoin. After being battered by many Scottish winters the weatherd rock looks like layer upon layer.
Beinn Mheadhoin (pronounced Bane Vee-arrn) meaning 'The Middle Hill' stands at 1182 meters (3878 feet) and is my 14th Munro. The summit plateau is strewn with some spectacular granite rocky tors and lies at the remote heart of the Cairngorms. The cycle in up Glen Derry was 6.7 miles, with a further 3.7 hike to reach the summit. With the return, the days sees me covering 21 miles Bike & Hike.

Rio Grande's Railblazer, train No. 102, passes through Olivers cut, between Riverton and Mesa, Utah the evening of July 21, 1988. In the background is the mighty Wasatch Front, a granite fortress on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley.
The Bakersfield-Glennville Road (Woody Road) cuts trough and outcrop of granodiorite on a ridge in the Sierra Nevada Foothills east of Woody, Kern County, California; Bakersfield-Glennville;
In the old part of Porto along the river (here the Rua da Reboleira in Ribeira) the frame of the houses is made from solid granite. Some of the buildings, such as that with the Gothic arches, go back to the 14th century. A number of Porto's buildings were damaged in the massive 18th century earthquake. Not these.
A side view of the 17th century gatehouse to the Lanhydrock estate in Cornwall. Magmatic intrusion materials, such as granite, form the geological skeleton of the Cornish topography. Since prehistoric times, granite has been used whenever the mark of permanence was required: we were here!
From our walk last Sunday up to Easdon Tor. That granite stack is called Figgie Daniel (see previous upload: flic.kr/p/2jGrrxr ).
This granite knob lies in the Sweewater Rocks in the Granite Mountains near Jeffery City, Wyoming. Geologically, this granite knob is located in the Archean-age Sweetwater subprovince of the Wyoming Craton. These rocks represent a time when Wyoming was a separate microcontinent called the Wyoming Craton which existed 500 million years before the North American Continent formed. The Sweetwater subprovince has an east-west tectonic grain which is caused by a shear zone between the Sweetwater and Southern Accredited Terrane subprovinces along the southern edge of the Wyoming microcontinent.
A granite jetty or, more-properly, groyne, reaches into the Gulf of Mexico from the Galveston Island, Texas, beach.
Completed in January 1945 using Rubislaw (Aberdeen) granite. Architect Leo Durnin, with “Spirit of the Wind” figure designed by Thomas Huxley-Jones.
I went out after rain and found this unlikely garden thriving. The prolonged drought in the western U.S. has troubled the plants and wildlife. It's nice to see some surviiving

Granite is great. It’s hard, weathers through countless winters of freezing and thawing. It does break down, eventually but slowly. Lines laying across the rocky surface tells us when the next break will occur. The individual shapes and sizes of the rocks are like fluffy clouds, they remind us of something, maybe a snake sneaking through the water, a seal sunning on the beach in the cold north. One looks like it would make a perfect seat. I could sit here watch the dragonflies fizz by, the minnows erratic meandering the the pools of water the myriad of colors in the trees that’s changing into fall.
