January the 16th.....




A very good Sunday....



We had an "old" Irish friend for lunch,
"Strohwitwer" (grass widower) at the moment.....
and
talked about the good days in Dublin..

****
Lunch carried on until nearly 4 o'clock !

...and then I had to rush out to catch the light....

wild plum tree


our oldest walnut tree


I love our trees without leaves...they are like 'statues'


Judas tree






View to the East




Late afternoon sun shadows - playing with the olive trees




The 200 year old Yew tree, today without snow!

***


..by five o'clock they still went on chatting along....

 
"D'you remember Jem?..."Do I remember???...will I ever forget!!!"

....it was about time for a good Irish Malt Whiskey..
and...

"As I remember Dublin.....

....it's just the ghost of dear old Dublin in my tears....
.....No, I can't forget old Dublin in my tears....

....Fare well to dear old Dublin" 

...and one Malt more for the road.

Remark: "Dublin in my tears" from THE DUBLINERS 
For many people THE DUBLINERS are the true symbol of Dublin.
Through their humour and song over the last 30 years, 
they have given Dublin and its music a special place in the hearts of the people of Ireland.
They have spread the city's fame and songs to all corners of the universe.

 Photos taken today between 4 and 5 o'clock with my 'non-professional' camera,
the light was just incredible!
