106/365:2010 The End of the Wheel
The Belfast Wheel is being deconstructed over the weekend, having finished its turn in Belfast last Sunday. The Belfast skyline will seem very bare next week...

105/365:2010 The Opera House
Had a quick wander round Great Victoria Street tonight and caught this image of the Grand Opera House lit at night, with a handily passing bus providing the dramatic movement in the right corner.

104/365:2010 Gaz
Complete lack of inspiration today until I spotted the Church of Ireland Gazette on my desk. It's the weekly newspaper of the Church of Ireland, but what I spotted was a form of my nickname at school - Gaz, or Gazza. Something I haven't left behind though, as some in church have taken to calling me that too!!!

103/365:2010 Docs
My old Doc Martens which are mostly worn for cutting the grass now. First cut of the back garden this evening.

102/365:2010 Welcome to Stormont
A big day for Northern Ireland (despite the attempts of some terrorists to wreck it). I had a lunchtime walk in Stormont Estate and spotted this new angle on the old building.

100/365:2010 Evidence of Easter Eggrolling
Up at the Knockagh War Memorial above Carrickfergus today, and as I walked down the hill, I could see lots of egg shells and bits of boiled eggs. That's odd, I thought, then realised they must have been rolling their eggs at Easter on the hill here!
Today was a great day weather-wise, and I took quite a few photos on my big and proper camera, enough for a month of uploads - but I'm sticking to my photo-a-day rule for my 365, so if you want to check out some alternative candidates, click on the photo and explore around my Flickr!

099/365:2010 What Else?
Day 99 of the 365 photo challenge, and there was only one thing the photo could be. A 'ninety-nine' is an ice cream poke (wafer cone) with a Cadbury's chocolate flake in it. Maud's ice cream, obviously, and honeycomb in flavour!
Incidentally, did you know that Mr Morelli, the founder of the ice cream brand and cafes in Northern Ireland died at the age of 99?

098/365:2010 Night Driving
Perhaps the closest to midnight I've got without having my photo taken... Don't worry, I wasn't driving at the time...

093/365:2010 Value for Money?
Late shopping in Tesco and their special offer makes a mockery of the 'better value' pack. Most people would buy the big one to get value for money, yet it's actually cheaper to buy two smaller ones!

092/365:2010 Hot Cross Buns
Good Friday, and some seasonal food (although I like them all the time!)

091/365:2010 Home Communions
The borrowed Home Communion set I'm using this week to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus with those who can't make it out to church any more.

089/365:2010 Rain Again!
This was the rain before the snow, and quite a shock to the system, having been in Lanzarote last week!

088/365:2010 Sermon Notes
Holy Week, and the first Dundonald Bible Week. Tonight was the youth night in the Baptist Church.

084/365:2010 Under the Sea!
Went on a wee excursion today, on a Submarine Safari from Puerto Calero on Lanzarote. This was the moment the diver was feeding the six foot long ray! Looks like his arm is getting eaten!

083/365:2010 Market Mirrored
Wednesday, and we had a dander to the market held in Marina Rubicon, just down from our hotel in Playa Blanca. Mirrors always catch my eye to see the new perspectives!

082/365:2010 Another Day by the Pool
Tuesday, and while the view has changed, the activity is the same. Reading and relaxing by the pool!

081/365:2010 Poolside View
Monday and enjoying relaxing by the pool on our Lanzarote holiday. Getting stuck into the pile of books and taking things easy.

080/365:2010 Say What You Mean?
Spotted this sign in the airport - what it means and what they intend to say aren't quite the same thing...

079/365:2010 Holiday Reading
Packing for a wee holiday in Lanzarote, and an important preparation is choosing the books to read while lounging in the sun. Last year, I ran out of books, so more will go this year! These are just a sample of the proposed holiday reading for this year...

078/365:2010 Lamp Pattern
Our lampshade has a great pattern in the linen (?) which becomes clear as the light shines out.

077/365:2010 Hillsborough
Potty Training (Post Ordination Training) was in Hillsborough. I tried for a night time shot when we came out but it was too dark for the iPhone camera to cope. This was on our arrival at teatime.

076/365:2010 Copycat
St Patrick's Day, but the gospel work continues. Photocopying the handouts for tonight's Lent Course.

074/365:2010 Abstract Plug
Stuck for inspiration, with no bright ideas, powerless in fact, so I just plugged away until something came to me...

073/365:2010 School of the Black Stuff
The townland of Guiness is between Dundrum and Dromara, near Drumkeeragh Forest, in very rural County Down! Passed this on my way home from the youth weekend.

071/365:2010 Bunk Beds!
First night of the church Youth Weekend away so I've got the bottom bunk due to my tendency to sleepwalk... Don't want to be breaking my leg or neck by falling from the top bunk!

066/365:2010 Edward Carson
Another walk in Stormont Estate. The blue sky was amazing behind the statue of Sir Edward Carson as he gazes down towards the Newtownards Road.

Ephesians Teaching Day with scholar and author from Sydney, Peter O'Brien in our church halls.

064/365:2010 Gleno Waterfall
The silky smoothness of the water coming over the waterfall in a longish exposure. This was the first time I've been at the waterfall and really liked it!

063/365:2010 Glass Globe
This wee globe rests on top of a clock and sits on my desk. When thinking something through I can 'spin the globe'!

062/365:2010 Get Off Your Horse...
And drink your milk. I don't have a horse, but I do enjoy a glass of milk at bed time!

061/365:2010 Sunk in the Semis
Ulster Rugby Schools Cup action from today's semi final between Wallace High School, Lisburn and Belfast Royal Academy at Ravenhill. Sadly my old school Wallace lost in a nailbiting finish 16-12. Maybe next year!

060/365:2010 Unfaded Memories
A quick walk up to Stormont and back during lunch. Spotted this clump of Poppy Day remembrance crosses in the grass in front of Parliament Buildings. The red poppies have faded, but the memories represented no doubt have continued through many winters and into spring.
