    No to the counties (Laois, Carlow) or just the location?

    It looks sort of northwest of somewhere.

    ...It looks sort of northwest of somewhere.

    Most places are NW of somewhere.
    Usually places that are SE of them.
    As long as they're not, y'know, the S pole!

    Just fishing for info, I mean, it looks (a) like the picture points north to northwest and (b) somewhere in the northwest of Ireland. Not overly sure of either point though.

    There's nothing in the photo that could possibly lead to a conclusion of which direction the camera's pointing. Even if there were shadows, that would tell you nothing unless you know what time the photo was taken.

    I think it was Ted Crilly who said moss only grows on the northside of things. Looks like there is some growth on the roof.

    MT Cranium your observation skills are second to none.

    It's not in Leinster.

    Is it in Munster?


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 12,475 Mod ✭✭✭✭byhookorbycrook


    Yes

    On that direction, I did say that I wasn't very certain. The cloud and lighting looked a bit like a north to northwest view, I do a lot better with shadows than you might imagine, you can often tell from combined length of shadow and seasonal clues what direction and time of day -- for example I found that shot in Drogheda fairly quickly from those clues (but I was told it was Drogheda so that was not part of it).

    This one looks to me like it was taken in late May or early June on an overcast day. That doesn't help at all, except for one point I've noticed, usually but not always the pictures in any given area come from the same day. That sort of sky would not change quickly, so if I start seeing that sort of look to the sky, I will get more interested than if I see clear sky. Anyway, going back to the rest of the thread to see what county we are searching. And when we find the location and it's looking south in late November then I will eat another meal of crow. Tasty.

    Psssttt.... Satellite dishes.

    Ah that's all too clever for me! It's in Cork anyhow.

    Which direction does the satellite take, and is it the one with the sport or the one with all the porn channels?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,636 ✭✭✭feargale


    Is it in the football or hurling area of Cork?

    It looks to me like the road in the pic is heading North, if that's any use.

    Would be better known for football, though the first part of the place name is the nickname of a very well known former hurler.
