The Lonely Church
The Lonely Church. I took out my LensBaby lens the other day and decided to have some fun. Like usual with my LensBaby, I took something like 200 photos, and this was the only one that I liked. You can get some super cool effects, but I should probably restrict myself to using it when I'm super high up shooting down, give the impression of miniature worlds! But the gassian blur I got on this old church worked out well View the larger version on Flickr
Model Bridge
Model Bridge. Trains are definitely interesting to shoot. What makes this train track even more interesting, is it's super small. Human ride-able, but you straddle the train and go down this 1km track. This bridge is just a fun little bridge across nothing (i.e. they could have just filled it in, but that woudn't be so fun would it. View the larger version on Flickr
Stairway to ...
Stairway to .... Walking around Dublin Ireland, there was so much interesting detail in the steps and pathways. This one path that caught my attention and when I checked it out, it was less than interesting (a school field) but the path itself left intrigue. View the larger version on Flickr
The Weather is Coming
The Weather is Coming. Another shot from Dublin, Ireland over the many bridges that cross the river Liffy.. This building was super easy to photograph which made it all the more fun. So majestic. View the larger version on Flickr
Morning of Glory
Morning of Glory. The main gates to Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland is very impressive. You walk through these castle-like walls and enter into this giant open green space with this spire in the center. In December, the sun is so low in the sky, everything gets that morning light and everything just looks amazing. I was just another lemming walking through the gates to school in the morning.

Chinese Stair Master
Chinese Stair Master. When I "hiked" on the Great Wall, it was like doing a giant stairmaster. I use FitBit and it said that day that I climbed 176 flights of stairs, that's 1760 feet! This image shows one of the massive stair masters that I climbed, I walked down and then started up. The challenging part is it was soooo hot, and the only way to cool down was in the little huts, so you had to climb in the heat, and then recover in the houe before you attempted the next set. I probably shouldn't have warn jeans! View the larger version on Flickr
Back in Time
Back in Time. The original Dublin Castle had some long reaching walls, at least after it extended a few times. This is a door on the original wall which still exists (not so oldly on Castle St.). I took this shot with both my iPhone & Instagram as wel as with my Canon 5DMII, so this is the 5DMII version. I've edited them similarly and named them the same, but they are slightly different pictures! View the larger version on Flickr
Minor Repairs to Power
Minor Repairs to Power. This building on the far side of River Liffey that I was unable to walk to easily, just looked so powerful to me. I twas both sadening and heartening that this building had scafolding on it. Sadening because it's such a powerful building it seems like it shouldn't need that. Heartening because the Irish are maintaining the power of the buildings! View the larger version on Flickr
Still Standing
Still Standing. This is the casle of Dublin, Ireland. The turrit in the center is part of the original castle, but the building connected to the left and the church on the right are fairly new, although they seem to still fit in. I'm actually standing on the castle helicopter pad, which used to be the "Black Pool" or "Dublina" in Irish (whcih is where Dublin got it's name). View the larger version on Flickr
It Keeps Going, and Going, ...
It Keeps Going, and Going, .... The Great Wall keeps going and going and going, just like the energizer bunnies. Made me wonder if energizer bunnies created it all those years ago. The structure is amazing! Right down to the water drainage, and the cool huts where you have to stop to get a break from the sun. View the larger version on Flickr
