Photo of the Week #17 - Bridge to Ashford Castle

I'm a nut about taking pictures of bridges; in fact one day I would like to put all of my pictures of bridges in one book: "Bridges from Around the World". But anyway for now just enjoy the "Bridge to Ashford Castle".

The castle was built in the 13th century and has passed into and through many hands over the years. It was converted into what is now a beautiful 5 Star hotel in the mid 1930's. It is located on the shores of Lough Corrib just north of Galway . A great place to stay and explore the northwestern part of Ireland.

Photo of the Week #15 - Ladder Street - Hong Kong

Ladder Street; I just Love it! I like this picture so much that when a saw a painting of the same scene, same street in Hong Kong in the 1980's, I brought it. It still hangs in our living room.

Picture was taken ca 1981 with Canon film-based camera.
