This is a picture of the main alter at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland. The whole cathedral is really massive. Pictures are allowed inside; however, it's very dark so a high ISO is required resulting in some graininess. I think these will look great as black and white images. I was the only person in the whole place for about an hour until a huge tour group came in. They were really noisy and the lady at the ticket counter was giving them a very disapproving look. It made me laugh because it's the exact look you would think an old British woman would give to a misbehaving child. Maybe you can believe what you see in the movies.

Been a while since I've taken pictures to post. Here's a pretty good picture from the cliffs above the Giants Causeway on the Northern coast of Northern Ireland. I've never seen coastline like this before and I have to say it is quite impressive. Can't imagine what it looks like after a mid spring sun shower. No rain when I was there yesterday, but the wind was running around 30MPH so I had to hang on to my hat while taking the picture. Will post more shots of the causeway in a few days. It's one of the "Wonders of the World" so I'm glad I got a chance to see it.
