The Temple on the cliff edge

It's challenging (for me, anyway) to get a good shot of Mussenden Temple from Downhill Beach.  If I walk down the beach and get closer to the Temple then it's just a big black blob against the sky.  Maybe I don't go at the right time of day.  I've photographed it manys-a-time from up top - like here, which you might recall.  Anyway, this is about the best I have managed from the beach recently:

The Temple is as near as damn it right on the cliff edge - more so than it looks in this shot.  A few years back the National Trust drilled a number large steel bolts into the cliff in order, I guess, to underpin the foundations.  

On the Prom

 Portstewart Prom, of course:

Enjoying a catch-up, with a good view of Donegal.

Keep the noise down

I can't imagine that there's much work done during the summer in and around the Bodleian Library, in spite of the sign requesting quiet.  It's a very busy place - at any given moment there are usually 2 or 3 tours complete with guides as well as family groups and individuals wandering about the courtyard:

This was another of those shots when I parked myself against the wall and just observed the scene playing out in front of me for a while, hoping to trigger the shutter at an opportune moment.  Not sure if I succeeded or not in this case.  The two doorways left and right do provide a bit of an anchor to the chaos in the middle, I guess.

Manannan Mac Lir

 That boy again, Celtic god of the sea, up at Gortmore viewing point near Binevenagh Mountain, with company:

I think my horizon is off, ever so slightly. 
Plus there's a rogue planet in the sea (another 'crop circle' paper artefact).

That be Inishowen peninsula, Donegal in the distance.  Just beyond that headland you can see lies Malin Head, the most northerly point in Ireland.  Just so you get your bearings and all that.

Big guy

I was doing some people watching when I noticed the big guy.  Well, it was hard not to, as he towered over the two people he was with.  He was very animated:

We're in the square between the Sheldonian Theater on the left and the entrance to the Bodleian on the right.

The dreaded crop circles are back.  I'll be glad when this box of paper is finished and I can get away from them.  Plus it looks like a bit of flare on the left of the print.

A few seconds later and he strode off, away to do something else, somewhere else.
