212/365:2010 Drum Major

It was the European Pipe Band Championships at Stormont in Belfast today, with an estimated crowd of 20,000 people enjoying the tartan tussle. Despite the heavy showers, a good day was had, both in the pipe band championships and in the drum major competition.

209/365:2010 Kitchen Caddy

Our fifth recycling/waste receptacle at home, in Castlereagh Borough Council area, which arrived today. We now have a black bin, brown bin, red kerbie, black kerbie, and this brown kitchen waste collector. Crazy!

194/365:2010 Reflecting the Thirteenth

The annual Royal Black Institution parade in Scarva with the Sham Fight. I've used this technique before at the Pipe Band Competition, but the band was stopped in front of me and I had to do it!

193/365:2010 Twelfth of July, Dublin Style

Street music was to be heard on the streets of Dublin, but I never heard the Sash once! Sadly, though, I wasn't able to take the shot I had intended for today. Right in the centre of Dublin, there is a huge tapestry of King Billy at the Battle of the Boyne, and I was going to take it, but there was a function in the room in the Bank of Ireland. Very disappointing!
