A new year, a new decade and a slow beginning. I've been vegetating all day and feel pretty uninspired. I really wanted to take a picture, so I could show off my new camera, but couldn't really come up with the perfect idea - but at least I noticed these lamps above me, when I was lying on the couch in my living room.
So now I'll probably go back to the couch for the rest of the evening :-)
I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve - I know I did :-)
When I got up to make coffee on New Year morning, I spied this group of 7 male wild burros standing around near our camp at the base of the Panamints in Death Valley. They stayed there for quite a while, not really doing anything, except giving us a warning snort to let us know we had approached too close. I've never seen any here before, but have seen them twice in this general area this year. I'm guessing they are coming down Galena Canyon - there's a lot of burro droppings in there.
While slightly hungover and off colour after yesterday's celebrations here in Library Towers at reaching 50M, it is still my duty to post today! And what a post? This Eason image of Doyle's Corner is full of interest and evidence of the daily life in Ireland in the first half of the last century! I am looking forward with anticipation to read what we can find out about this lovely shot....
With thanks in particular today to Niall McAuley, Flame1958, swordscookie and derangedlemur it is confirmed that this image likely dates to the summer of 1914 (probably late June). Much of this dating discussion revolved around the news posters outside Reynlod's at number 68 - and the striking headline about the "British Fleet Commanded by the Kaiser". This (seeming contemporary equivalent of clickbait :) ) related to an inspection by the Kaiser in a pre-war visit of the fleet to the German port of Kiel. The other main discussion point was the member of the Dublin Metropolician Police on apparent point-duty. Sporting collar-number D109, he was likely based at Mountjoy barracks a few hundred yards east along the NCR (still an active Garda station).....
