Sunday wonders -Q

Q if sor quiet. The wonderful, amazing sound of a Dublin Sunday morning.

The contrasts between Killarney and Dublin are enormous. And, last night around midnight, this hotel room in Dublin is not where I wanted to be. All I could hear were cars and trucks and sirens. And mad revellers celebrating noisily - right under my window.

I wanted to hear the comforting clip-clop pf horse as the jaunting cars began their day...



I longed for the fields...


The sounds of the sea...


and the wind...


But, for now, I have Dublin. A big city. Never quiet.
Except on Sunday morning.

  2. Blogger is giving me fits today. If my comment posts more than once, I'm sorry.

    Like always, your photos are lovely. I've enjoyed your holiday abroad immensely. I hope your Sunday stays on the quiet side, but somehow, I think those revelers will be right back at it soon.

  3. Oh, yes. Dublin won the football game today. There's a Bruce Springsteen concert tonight. And an open air rock concert tonight. Lots of celebrating tonight!
