Didn't actually meet you, since I was only at the con for a few hours on Saturday evening, but have been enjoying your photos. Padraig btw is my cousin, oddly enough I met him for the first time at a con.

The mysterious tower in the Guinness Brewery is a former windmill, once the largest smock windmill in Europe. It powered a distillery before Guinness took over the whole area.

(Stating the obvious) It's too bad you couldn't have stayed till Saint Patrick's -- or Padraig's -- Day.

Great photos, anyway.

Which reminds me, that tower is called St. Patrick's tower. If you look closely at the full size image, you can see the St. Patrick-shaped wind vane at the top, with his mitre on, a crozier in one hand and a big cross to catch the wind in the other.

I see sunlight in many of these pictures - are you sure these were actually taken in Ireland? In March?

I'm glad to see there is someone else out there that likes to take pictures of doors.

I am smitten with the wrought-iron gate that looks like Teresa designed it.
