Mount Leinister, Ireland

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 11:28:27 Z

"Mount Leinster (Irish: Stua Laighean) is the highest mountain in both County Carlow and County Wexford, Ireland. It is the highest of the Blackstairs Mountains at 796 metres (2,605 ft). A tall RTÉ television transmitter tops the peak with a mast height of 122 m. The TV transmitter site is a popular location for hang-gliding enthusiasts to launch from. In 2003, a hang-glider pilot died from injuries sustained in the crash landing of his flight launched from the mountain. There is a memorial at the peak of the mountain. The mountain is most often climbed from the Nine Stones, a landmark point at the foot of Mount Leinster, about 8 miles east of Borris. From Borris there is a road to a visitor car park on the mountain. From there the steep RTÉ access road leads to the summit. This road is closed to normal traffic and RTÉ have now fenced off the transmitter tower from public access to prevent vandalism."

Ashford Castle, Ireland

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:22:33 Z

"Ashford Castle is a medieval castle near Cong in County Mayo, Ireland on the shore of Lough Corrib. The castle was built in 1228 by the Anglo-Norman de Burgo family following their defeat of the O'Connors, the Royal House of Connacht. In 1868, the estate passed to Lord Ardilaun, an avid gardener who oversaw the development of massive woodlands and rebuilt the entire west wing of the castle. The Castle passed to Ardilaun's nephew Ernest Guinness, who sold it to Noel Huggard in 1939. He opened the estate as a hotel, which became renowned for the provision of its country pursuits, such as angling and shooting."

Thanks!

Haroldstown Dolmen

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 07:41:20 Z

"Improbable though it may seem, this interesting megalithic tomb was lived in by a family in the nineteenth century, a purpose to which its large interior was suited and possibly to some extent modified. Gaps between the side-stones were windproofed with turf and mud, and no doubt the resulting 'house' was as snug as some of the tiny cabins occupied around the time of the Great Famine. The Haroldstown dolmen stands near the bank of the Derreen River at Acaun Bridge, 4 miles north-east of Tullow. The chamber, 13 feet long and nearly 9 feet wide at one point is more spacious than most portal-tombs and comprises about ten upright stones. There are two capstones, the larger of which measures some 12 feet in length."

Waterford Statue Test

"A test to see how I could get 100% with a shiney item. If you look at the point cloud, you can see that the black statue as no point cloud at all."

Carlow Cathedral of the Assumption

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 15:05:08 Z

"A chapel from the penal period existed between Carlow College and the Dublin Road. In 1787 Dr. Henry Staunton, Parish Priest of Carlow, built a sizeable Church on the later Cathedral site. The Cathedral was completed in 1833 and the old church was demolished. Part of its transept walls were retained and incorporated into the new structure. It is gothic in design. Thomas Cobden was the main architect. The magnificent tower and lantern, reaching 46 metres, was inspired by the cloth Hall at Burges in Belgium."

John F. Kennedy Commemorative Statue

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 10:40:12 Z

"This commemorative statue to mark the 45th anniversary of President Kennedy's visit to the town of New Ross, Co. Wexford where his Ancestors once lived before moving to the U.S.A. The wall behind the statue has some of his famous quotes on engraved bronze plates."

The Liberty Tree

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 08:48:39 Z

"A commemorative sculpture, entitled "The Liberty Tree" was commissioned by Carlow Local Aurthorities to mark the Bicentenary of the 1798. The macabre imagery is a deliberate statement of thought provocation; the stem of the tree is made up of clambering skeletons. It commemorates the 1798 Rising of the United Irishmen. There were several hundred rebels slain in Carlow town and their remains are buried in the 'Croppies Grave', in nearby Graiguecullen."
