I agree with the comment about shooting what's on our own doorstep. Hence:

1. Moore St. and the Fruit Market. Have done the latter part of this and will be back.
2. Giants Causeway. Never been there.
3. Any airport runway at night. REAL priority for me !
4. Any derelict building in Dublin
5. The Northern Lights (doesn't count as a home one, but I'm full of contradictions)

Be very careful. Radiation sickness is a horrible way to die.
