SEA STALLION FROM GLENDALOUGH SETS SAIL FOR DENMARKPHOTOGRAPHED 29 JUNE 2008 AND PUBLISHED 5 JANUARY 2023

Yesterday [6 Jan 2023] and today my photographs of this Viking Longship attracted much attention and a few people who were actually involved asked me if I had and photographs of the boat in the water [arriving in Dublin or leaving Dublin] and after much searching I found a number of original Canon RAW files which needed a lot of post processing as they contained a lot of noise.

The Viking longship - the 'Sea Stallion from Glendalough' - set sail from Dublin 29 June 2008. It left Custom House Quay at noon to begin a return journey to Roskilde in Denmark having been scheduled to arrive at the Viking Ship Museum there on Saturday August 9.

The original ship was built with oak from Glendalough, Wicklow, Ireland, hence the ship's name. The reconstruction was built at the shipyard of the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde from 2000 to 2004. Havhingsten fra Glendalough is a reconstruction of the longest viking longship that currently is found. It is used for research.

MALAHIDE SEAFRONT NEAR THE VILLAGEPHOTOGRAPHED 11 MAY 2008 AND PUBLISHED 5 JANUARY 2023

About ten to fifteen years ago I had lunch almost every week in Malahide and frequently my mother would join me but she will be 103 years old next May.

The Irish Sea has played a major role in the development of tourism in the Malahide. The extensive Velvet Strand stretches to the horizon and is extremely popular with bathers, walkers and water sports enthusiasts.

I LIKE THIS OLD SHELTERPHOTOGRAPHED 11 MAY 2008 AND PUBLISHED 5 JANUARY 2023

You will find the People’s Flower Gardens between the Parkgate Street entrance and the North Circular Road entrance to the Phoenix Park.

The garden was laid out and opened in the mid-nineteenth century as the Promenade Grounds. It provides an opportunity to enjoy the horticulture of that era at its best. A large ornamental lake with various fowl, a children’s playground, picnic areas and Victorian bedding schemes are just some of the attractions you will come across here.

CRICKET CLUBS IN PHOENIX PARKPHOTOGRAPHED 11 MAY 2008 AND PUBLISHED 5 JANUARY 2023

Phoenix Cricket Club is the oldest in Ireland and believed to be one of the oldest in the world having been founded in 1830. Prior to 1834 the Club members met and practiced in the Phoenix Park but in 1835 the Club moved out of the Park and played its matches in open fields south of the Canal behind Upper Baggot Street. In 1838 the Commissioner of Woods and Forests granted permission for a 150 yards square near the Wellington monument. At that time a temporary rail had to be erected as several players were injured as the ground had been cut up by wandering animals. Permanent rails were subsequently erected of an agreed thickness and painted white so as to be clearly visible to horsemen.

I USE THIS AND IT IS ALREADY FULL

One of the biggest ongoing problems that I have is storage and the problems gets worse by the year. 4 Years ago I purchased two LaCie 8TB thunder bolt drives and eighteen months later I purchased a 12TB drive and then in August of 2019 I needed a 20TB unit and it is already full. I do have an aggressive backup policy which does require a lot of storage so i suppose that I should not be surprised. I should mention that I use Amazon Photos and currently am using 12TB of online storage.


I REALLY DO NEED A SOLUTION
