Rock of Dunamase, Portlaoise, Co. Laois

Today a friend and I took a spin to the Rock of Dunamase, Portlaoise to see what we could see. The morning started off quite foggy all over, but it lifted a little...or so we thought! As we arrived the fog was still down throughout, but it did lift and thin a little during our visit.

This is the view that greets you as you come through the front gate. It's a very impressive fortress, and usually gives great views northwise across the flat Kildare/Laois landscape. The weather didn't allow that today, but as you might (or might not) agree, the fog did give some atmosphere (in combination with the black and white switch)

This is a typical photograph of (one of) us in action. This is what a real photographer looks like!

Unusual to see this tree without a background!
