Clifden - Irish: An Clochán, meaning "stepping stones" is a coastal town in County Galway, Ireland, in the region of Connemara, located on the Owenglin River where it flows into Clifden Bay.

The foundation for this beautiful Church was laid in 1872 and was completed seven years later. It was dedicated in July 1879 by Archbishop Mc Hale. This was a considerable achievement considering the poverty of the people who were emerging from famine periods, and also the courage of Dean Mc Manus who undertook this task in his late 70’s.
During his 34 years 1898—1932 Canon Mc Alpine did much to furnish and beautify the Church. In 1898 the Church Spire was completed standing at a height of 150 feet. In 1900 the bell was erected and first rung on St. Patrick’s Day. In 1901 the beautiful Joshua Clarke stained glass windows were installed.

View on the Old Town in Piran from the city walls. At the right side is the Church of St. George :)
Piran is a town in southwestern Slovenia on the Gulf of Piran on the Adriatic Sea. The town is known for its medieval architecture, with narrow streets and compact houses and it's one of Slovenia's major tourist attractions. Architecture of Piran resembles the Italian Venice, to which it belonged in the past, together with Istria. Most of the buildings, as well as the medieval walls separating the city from the rest of the mainland, also come from this period. In the middle of the town is the Tartini Square, with a monument in memory of Giuseppe Tartini. Nearby are located various important buildings, such as Tartini’s house, first mentioned in 1384 and one of the oldest in town, the Municipal Palace. The area of Piran has been inhabited since ancient times. The name of the town most probably originates from the Greek "pyros", meaning fire, due to ancient lighthouses which were supposed to be on the edge of the marina. From 1283 to 1797, the town became part of the Republic of Venice and then was annexed to the Austrian Empire. In 1954 The town was annexed to Yugoslavia.

Piran – miasto w Słowenii, siedziba gminy Piran, położone na skalistym cyplu, jest jednym z najatrakcyjniejszych turystycznie miejsc nad słoweńskim Adriatykiem, słynnym ze ze średniowiecznej architektury z wąskimi uliczkami i zwartą zabudową. Swą architekturą o przypomina włoską Wenecję, do której wraz z Istrią należało w przeszłości. Z tego okresu pochodzi też większość zabudowy, a także średniowieczne mury, oddzielające miasto od reszty lądu. Reprezentacyjny plac Tartiniego powstał pod koniec XIX wieku, po zasypaniu wewnętrznego basenu portowego (1894). Mieści się przy nim ratusz i budynek sądu oraz zachowana z obwarowań brama św. Jerzego. Obszar Piranu był zasiedlony od czasów antycznych, a nazwa miasta wywodzi się od greckiego "pyrá", oznaczającego ognisko, ponieważ na krańcu półwyspu zapalano ogień jako punkt orientacyjny dla statków płynących do portu Koper. W 1283 wraz z wybrzeżem Istrii Piran przeszedł pod władzę Republiki Weneckiej, zaś po upadku potęgi Wenecji (1797) Piran przeszedł pod panowanie Habsburgów, zaś w 1954r. znalazł się w granicach Jugosławii.
The Oliver St John Gogarty Pub in Temple Bar Dublin. Popular with the tourists.. Nice pub with good music and food but maybe a bit expensive.
Not exactly from around here. I am not sure what it is that jumps out and says that they are not local. Do misunderstand me, I am glad they are here and hope they are having a great time fishing. I think they would have even a better time if they would go to the port and jump on one of those fishing charters. For a pretty cheap amount they will supply everything you need and will put you right on the fish.
Even if traveling is out of the picture these days, it's actually a lot of fun to take tourist shots right at home!
The embankment of Moscow river attracts a lot of tourists. I tried to find the new viewpoint without them:-) An another picture from the Moscow city center.

Kilchurn castle. The Campbells of Glenorchy were the most powerful cadet branch of the Clan Campbell, and over two centuries from the 1430s came to dominate the central Highlands. The building of several castles, of which Kilchurn was the first, was a key part of their territorial expansion during this period
The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad operates tourist trains in both directions out of Bryson City, NC on the former Southern Murphy branch. This time of year they only operate the more scenic side into the Nantahala river gorge. This train is crossing the Tuckasegee River after departing the station in Bryson City a little over an hour late due to some mechanical issue. Thanks to the hi-rail patrol that came along a bit earlier and stopped to tell me the train would be at least a half hour late. It just let the light swing around a little better. In spite of that delay, this isn't a typical shoe string museum type operation. Everything's painted and the huge parking area and long train show they're ready for serious business.
A beautiful junk ship with an extremely knowledgeable and excellent crew. Shaolin Junk Cruises is a north Queensland icon since it began it's tourist crises in 1988. Recommended as a trip for those visiting Port Douglas
