If the road works, why are there signs pointing out where diverted traffic goes? Did you know that most street signs in Ireland are bilingual? As Gaeilge on top and English below. Thanks Henry, for the company last night. A good spot to do long exposure photography. Oh, here’s something interesting about this photo. It’s…

Spinning flaming steel wool around creates fiery trails in the air. Thanks Henry, for this photo I took in 2015!

A little fun with long exposure photography creates a ghost coming out of The Roundy.
