This is a photograph from from the Naomh Mhuire AC Daingean 5KM Road Race and Fun run which was held in Daingean, Co. Offaly Ireland on Sunday 26th June 2016 at 12:00. The race started and finished close to Daingean village in the GAA club grounds and took a right handed loop out towards Tullamore and back in country roads to the main street and back to the finish. The course could be described as mostly flat and fast however the final 400m sees a reasonably significant climb up to the finish in the GAA grounds.
This race is race number 4 of the Offaly Race Series 2016 which sees seven 5KM road races being held over the summer in County Offaly hosted by Offaly-based athletics clubs.
The Naomh Mhuire AC members and helpers put on a great race - well organised, well stewarded, accurate course etc. There was also a very big spread of refreshments after the race in the tent beside the GAA club building.
The race was event managed and timed by MyRunResults.comOur full set of photographs from this race are available on our Flickr photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157670171879676

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

Dundalk Storm To Title Dundalk 55 v Bangor 5 from KnockOn.ie
Dundalk Scorers: Christopher Scully, Owen McNally, Jonathan Williams, John Smyth, Ultan Murphy, Tiernan Gonnelly, James McConnon and Stephen Murphy 1 try each. Ultan Murphy 6 cons, 1 pen.
Bangor Scorers: David Charles 1 try.
In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

Head of the Bight and Whales. The Head of the Great Australian Bight has a lookout controlled and managed by Yalata Aboriginal Community. It is a further 165 kms west of Fowlers Bay. The Bight is a breeding and calving grounds for Southern Right Whales and it is a favoured spot for them from June until October. There is a small viewing platform there on cliffs that are about 70 metres high and by late August about 70 Southern Right Whales are usually in these waters. Our cruise from Fowlers Bay actually takes us into the Southern Ocean around Fowlers Bay where we should see plenty of Southern Right Whales as Fowlers Bay is second to Head of the Bight for calving and whale spotting. The Fowlers Bay area has around 100 whales passing through on occasions. You are also likely to see Humpback whales on the cruise too as well as dolphins, sea lions, fur seals, marine birds – including Albatross, Sea Eagles and Little Penguins. Southern Right Whales have no fins and often have white lumpy sections on their backs whilst Humpback Whales have small dorsal fins on their backs and pectoral flippers on their sides. Humpback whales do not breed and calve along the Great Australian Bight. Whales have frequented this area for a long period and a whaling station operated in the Fowlers Bay area from around 1840 to 1844.
Fowlers Bay. A port like Fowlers Bay was essential for the establishment of the Yalata sheep run in 1860. Communication with Adelaide for supplies or mail was by ship. A postal service began in 1865 mainly for the Yalata sheep run but there were other runs near Fowlers Bay. The government approved the construction of a police station and lockup for prisoners at Fowlers Bay. The coast was surveyed in 1867 from Fowlers Bay to the Western Australian border and a store keeper was licensed to operate there on 13 March 1867. Also in March a member of parliament made the first parliamentary visit to Fowlers Bay. His voyage from Port Adelaide took four days. The government then appointed two Justices of the Peace to Fowlers Bay in June 1867. Later in 1867 a local resident requested a doctor to be sent to Fowlers Bay as many of the Aboriginals were dying of disease and needed medical attention. In July 1867 the government approved £1,000 for a small jetty to be built at Fowlers Bay. The Fowlers Bay Post Office in 1867 was busy. The government spent £499 financing the mail service from Port Lincoln to Fowlers Bay for a revenue from those mails of only £108. But communication changed drastically in 1876 when the government spent £600 building a telegraph station and Post Office at Fowlers Bay. The telegraph station, which was also a repeater station, started operating on 8 December 1877 with the first telegraph line completed from Adelaide to Port Lincoln to Fowlers Bay and onwards to Eucla and Perth. R Knuckey from the government built the line across the Nullarbor from Fowlers Bay to Eucla with 38 men and 89 horses from July 1876 to July 1877. WA still had to complete the telegraph line to Eucla.
The town was re-surveyed in 1890 when the Hundred of Caldwell was surveyed. A timber and iron school room opened in 1893. From 1896 the school room was used for Congregational Church services and a foot pump organ was placed in the school room for use the by the children as well as the church congregation. The school closed in 1959 and children were sent to Coorabie School. Other facilities in the small town included: a bigger rebuilt jetty in 1896 which was then extended in 1907 and 1914 and again in 1948, a new Police Station in 1883 and Courthouse addition on the side street in 1912. The Institute was officially opened on 13 January 1923 with the foundation stone laid by George Murray of Yalata station in 1922. Although a hotel was licensed in the 1880s the current building was erected around 1900. Near the jetty is the Captain Matthew Flinders monument which was erected in 1948. In the early years there was evidently much drunkenness especially when a new shipment of beer and spirits arrived at the jetty! This was a busy jetting shipping out wheat and wool. The port was fortunate to be served by the Coast Steamships Limited from 1901 to 1966. The wheat trader James Darling, who had flourmills around SA, also ran his own steamer service to Fowlers Bay until 1942. Darling’s last steamer on the Fowlers route was called the Coorabie. Throughout this period some sailing ketches also serviced the ship route from Port Adelaide to Fowlers Bay including the Failie. The Yandra was especially built for the Far West Coast services of Eyre Peninsula. This steamer was built in Denmark in 1928 with a shallow draft for places like Fowlers Bay which it serviced it until it sank in Spencers Gulf in 1959.
From the town’s foundation Betts ran a general store in Fowlers Bay from 1890 to 1925. They also ran stores in Denial Bay, Ceduna, Streaky Bay etc. The caravan park is now located where the general store once stood. The town has declined since the closing of Bett’s store and then that of the Telegraph Office in 1927. The Telegraph Office was a small addition in 1877 to the 1875 built Post Office. It is on the esplanade and is now the oldest building in Fowlers Bay. The Harbour Master’s house in West Terrace was built around 1890. The last harbour master was Mervyn Warmington who left with the last ship in 1966. He was married in 1956 in the Fowlers Bay Public Hall at the age of 26 years. The Post Office closed in 1967 after 92 years of usage. Today tourism and whale watching keep the town alive today with about 25 residents. The caravan park has a fine a café using locally caught fish. The bay is known as a nursery area for mother whales and their infants. On the edge of the town is a giant white coastal sand dune which looks as if it will one day swallow the town. But in 1952 it was estimated that Fowlers Bay would be under the sand dune within 20 years – i.e. 1972. That has not happened yet.

Managed to grab one shot of this very unusual bug before he flitted away. Anyone know what kind of bug it is?
EDIT: Apparently, it is a spotted cucumber beetle, a somewhat nasty little guy! (Thanks, Lissa!)
Our Daily Challenge: rule of thirds
Managed by UPM-Blandin, this is a relatively old aspen-spruce stand managed under their mixedwoods silviculture system. This stand contains spruce, fir, and trembling aspen that are all nearing maturity, in a mix that resembles the normal composition of the native plant community in this area. It's a great example of productivity-oriented management designed to emulate the native plant community.
Managed to take a macro again for the daily shot today! Let's see if I get so luck tomorrow.

We managed to find a grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) on the trip's last full day. Eating grass in an estuary just on the "outskirts" of the former town of Dyea, we got the chance to see these two bears sleeping, eating and shitting (insert joke here).
I have to give Alan credit for spotting the bears. They were a way off and we could have easily just driven past them--however, there were Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) in the water just by the road and after stopping to look at them, Dad looked up and said "Are there cows out there?" Turns out they were the bears!
So Grizzlies and Harlequin ducks all in one stop. Pretty incredible!
Managed to hand-process a roll of C-41 tonight! Only screwed up one serving of developer trying to get it up to temp. Thursday I'm doing a bunch more.
We managed to get a pretty good slope on the candles I think. It's far from perfect though, so we need to improve next year!
Finally we managed to move out from the city for some days and took a trip to the wonderful Czech Republic, more precisely to Cesky Krumlov. This charming little town is in the south-western part of the country. To give you some idea on how nice this town is, I would only mention that it is the part of the UNESCO world heritage program for long years now.
This collage is a quick summary about the trip and all shots taken with my phone's camera and processed with Instagram.
More shots coming soon....
