Boating

by Tommy

Yesterday, myself and Dad went boating with friends of ours. Here’s some photos from that escapade:

P1000821

By order of Orla, this photo was to go first.

P1000804

This was a shot of some birds by the water. With 12x zoom, the old stereotype of nature photographers having to be this close to animals to get photos of them are gone — I was 50 paces away taking this.

P1000810

Bridge/boat shot.

P1000783

The bad weather and cold did little to dampen the spirits of the five of us. Just as well — it was very cold.

P1000830

A view from the very front of the boat.

Lough Derg gives lovely views of the surrounding country-side. To do: boat my way down the Shannon. I’d say that during the summer it’s a grand old journey.
