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

192/365:2010 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!

179/365:2010 The Slieve Donard

A little short break during a week off from the parish, and this was our destination. The spa facilities are fantastic, and the view of where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea is just brilliant. A reminder of our wedding reception just under two years ago, we just keep coming back to the premier hotel in Northern Ireland!

Tonight I went over to the other side - of Church Green, to the Presbyterian Church for the Installation of their new minister, William. Turned out I went to school with his brother-in-law so we got a good catch up and wondered where the 13 years had gone since we left Dromore High!

Photo taken straight from the camera after another little late evening expedition to get a 365 shot. I'm getting back into the swing of the big camera, and now realising that I was foolish to not be using it for more of my 365 shots... To see another couple of photos from tonight, including (IMHO) a clever shot, click on this photo and go back through my Flickr photostream.
