Pity no one got the photo of the beach above, almost a month old... Carne beach.:)

Bearhunter · 13-10-2008 9:08pm

RKQ - I didn't recognise the strand without its natural covering of Dubliners...

Fantastic beach, Carne. One of the best in Ireland.

Mahatma coat · 18-10-2008 2:03am

eh Sam Mom if you do go to tintern be prepared for a bit of walkin there are a few cool things in the grounds.

course the OPW stuck their oar in so is not as cool as when we were kids and you could actually climb up along the battlememts that you can see in the photo

thedarkroom · 19-10-2008 1:57am

Is that Bannow Bay?

CLADA · 19-10-2008 12:40pm

There's a lot of well known features in the pic. so maybe i should have asked where it's taken from?

Mahatma coat · 19-10-2008 12:45pm

is that taken from somewhere around St Leonards/Saltmills lookin out on bannow?

looks seriously familiar can you post a bigger version?

Here's the centre of the shot any bigger and it would be too easy:p

Two good landmarks on each side of the photo. Where was it taken from?

All Cistercian abbeys follow the same basic architectural layout, as set out by Saint Bernard in the early twelfth century.

Yes.

The OPW hasn't stopped people doing that; just discouraged it.

I took my photo from the same spot you took yours (on the bridge or in the ruin(which would be the old church) just off the bridge)

sam_mom1 · 22-10-2008 12:34am

Morrisseeee · 17-11-2008 4:11pm

OK, so here goes, its easy if you're from the area !
Q. Where this place & where did I take it from ?
(Note: some may know straight away, pls hold off & give others a chance !)

sam_mom1 · 18-11-2008 3:42pm

i know where it is but not 100% sure where it taken from, just want to say thats a feckin cool photo though, for some reason it looks like its a model church not the real thing hahahaha

Morrisseeee · 19-11-2008 4:18pm

Thanks..

its a model church not the real thing hahahaha

Yep, that was the idea.

St Senan · 20-11-2008 1:06am

Its Enniscorthys Cathedral. the snap seems to be taken from the shannon side of town or maybe from the new Dunne stores roof/ steel silos that were there.

I'm curious, but not sure about that. Look at the background and look at the sequence of shots on the pix.ie site (I cheated) and I don't think it is Enniscorthy. Where would the elevated viewpoint be? I don't know where it is but I don't think it's Enniscorthy. I'm still looking to see where it could be though, how many places have a church or cathedral of that size?

20-11-2008 9:43am

Am waiting for Europerson to get this one!

He knows all when it comes to churches and cathedrals.

RKQ · 20-11-2008 10:35am

Its Enniscorthys Cathedral. Probably high zoom from maltings / new dunnes stores.

arseagon · 20-11-2008 3:28pm

Yep it's the cathedral in enniscorthy alright. The orangish building in the background i think is Dawsons pub of the Duffry?

Where you were taking it is beyond me? Going out on a huge limb, Vinegar hill with a telescopic lens on the camera? It's the only point I can think of that would be high enough.

hamsterboy · 20-11-2008 4:26pm

Think i know where he was taking that pic from Arseagon....

He was on top of.......

YORE MA!!!!

*scuttles away giggling maniacally........

HB

St Senan · 20-11-2008 11:21pm

It's the cathedral alright but looking at the images in pixx.ie the high rise fields in the background dont exist or never existed the pub is Donohoes the houses are Patrick street the round steel roof is o,Conners coal yard and behind that is bellefield gaa grounds but the high rise fields should not be in the photo

Morrisseeee · 24-11-2008 5:41pm

Sorrie folks, I had forgotten about this post.
Yep its Enniscorthy Cathederal alright, taken from Vinegar Hill with a Zoom lens.
So.......next photo please....
