Carrick Camera Club went to the Saltes Islands on Saturday 19th of May. A great day was had by all and nice photos were gotten. On the way home we took a stop at Hook Head to take some photos.
This area is renowned as the location of Hook Lighthouse. Hook Head is the oldest lighthouse in Ireland, and one of the oldest in Europe still operating. In the 5th century St Dubhan set up a fire beacon on the headland as a warning to mariners. After his death his monks kept the beacon going for another 6 centuries. Between 1170 and 1184 the Normans built the present lighthouse. It was built from local limestone and burned lime mixed with ox’s blood. Even today traces of the blood-lime mix can be seen coming through the paintwork. The walls are 9 to 13 feet thick and 80 feet above the ground. In 1665 King Charles II granted letters patent to Sir Robert Reading to erect six lighthouses on the coast of Ireland, one of which was at Hook Head on the site of the older lighthouse, the others being at Howth, one to mark the land, the other to lead over the bar; the Old Head of Kinsale, Barry Oge's castle (now Charlesfort, near Kinsale), and the Isle of Magee.

Shot in a rundown barn in Newark, DE. Really liked the textures of the rusted metal against the aged wood.
Improvised fish hooks using a small safety pin and a inner strand of paracord. The gouge was made out of walnut and a inner strand of paracord.
Early c1100 Norman bucket font of oolitic limestone, designed for total immersion , stands on a more recent base. It has a lead lining, and a recent fixed wooden surround on the upper surface
Round the upper part of the bowl, within a border, is a beaded wavy line (snakes ?) with foliage at intervals on either side and a half lozenge underneath. Round the lower part, within a border, is a series of roundels with circular medallions.
The figures show Adam and Eve (ADAM and EVA inscribed on their chests in mixed Roman and Lombardic capitals) , the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and signs of the Zodiac (Sagittarius (SAGITARIVS) , Aquarius & Aries)
Adam has a spade in his right hand and a rake held up in his left hand. Eve, who has plaited hair, holds an apple in her right hand and a fig leaf in her left.
Sagittarius (SAGITARIVS) the archer portrayed as a centaur, with the body, hind legs and tail of a horse and human torso, is turned away from Aquarius, but the upper, human part is looking back and holds a bow with a short arrow, which he is about to discharge. This combination suggests Sagittarius as the champion of all that is right and good, driving away the evil influence as represented by the flood which would destroy the world, released by Aquarius (the water carrier) who has a hooked stick over his shoulder with 2 water-bags hanging from it, and carries an axe in front of him., The destructive character of the water of the flood is thus contrasted with the regenerative power of the water of baptism.
Aries is typical of the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world. He is standing on a flat pedestal and below this is a tree with foliage extending on either side from the top of the trunk, suggesting the tree of life. The remaining figure is Serpens, represented as a two headed serpent, with one head biting the other. This is a symbol o f the powers of evil which war against one another and bring about their own destruction. (or possibly the symbol of eternity)

Red hook Crit,
Fixed gear race in NYC, pretty amazing to watch guys bomb down the straight into the hairpin at the end, brakeless, and in big packs.
Loads of stacks.
The brewery in the North Oxfordshire village of Hook Norton is one of the finest examples still in existence of a Victorian tower brewery which was completed in the mid-1890's and is still in operation in much the same way today. Built at a time when most towns and even large villages had their own brewery, the family owned company has brewed continuously on the site since the 1850's. Even when real ale became unfashionable in the 1960's and 70's the brewery continued to produce in the traditional way. It is seen here on May 11th 2007.
Captain James Hook. The plaque next to this statue said "The villian of "Peter Pan" his nemesis, he is said to have been Blackbeard's bosun and the only man Long John Silver ever feared. He wears an iron hook in place of his hand, which was cut off and eaten by a crocodile."

Never thought I would need a hook grip (I like my hooks skinny), but I do now that I'm using this small hook with a very repetitive stitch pattern.
This is a modified version of the home made hook grip shown in How to Make Your Own Crochet Hook Grip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnyAKzdcbeY
I didn't have any tubing on hand so I used one pencil grip inside another. I cut a lengthwise strip out of the inner grip, rolled it up, pulled it through with rounded jewelry pliers (not easy!), rolled it on a hard surface with the palm of my hand (to get it to wiggle inside better), and trimmed off a little bit that was sticking out the ends. Then I carefully wiggled my hook in.
