Cavan picture quiz

flanum

ok, shamelessly stole the idea from the meath forum, who shamelessly stole it from somewhere else.

story is, a picture is posted up here of somewhere in cavan (not somewhere stupid like "my bathroom/garden" etc) somewhere where people will recognise, maybe a slightly obscure angle etc..

when somebody guesses right, they then post a pic up next. It doesnt really work if ye steal it from the internet as this just makes it too easy, so get out the cameras and post up here!!!!

ill go first, its fairly well known (easy).

flanum

By the way, ye can post a pic directly onto the page (like i did) and not just the address by......

1. upload ur pic to a site like http://www.photobucket.com

2. copy the url of the pic by..(right clicking on your pic and go to properties, right click the address (url), highlight it and then "copy")

3. on this page.... type "" (again without the quotation marks!)!

Is it Finn McCool's fingers on Shantemon Hill?

munchkin_utd

from the trees about it I'd hazzard a guess that its the giants grave in Killykeen

(or more presicely the Megalithic Tomb there at Gatrtnaoul in Killykeen forest park)

Gadjodilo

Doh! I have it! This is actually an electron microscope image of the original poster's large intestine...... after a night out on the tiles. Those lumpy things are chip molecules.

Oh, very clever......

flanum

Finn macools fingers is correct!

drumlane abbey near milltown? i havent ever seen it but going by what people have told me, it looks like it could be that.
whatever/wherever it is, im going to see it. very impressive!

Gadjodilo

Those were hard although I'd have figured out the 3rd one eventually. Here are three I took today. I doubt they'll last long.

Saibh

1st picture - not too sure, would it be beside the old mill

2nd picture - library cavan town

3rd picture beside the abbey bar

handsomerob

The first one is on Farnham Street, the four story houses

flanum

that first one is very good! half da people from cavan town (meself included) would be flummoxed with that one!

handsomerob is barred from this quiz, the cnut knows too much! hee hee:D

How about this one ??

Steak

Park House Hotel in Virginia?

bbam

indeed;)

Gallant_JJ

Any more pics or has the thread come to a halt?


I'll throw up an easy one.........

Saibh

St Clare's Chapel?

Gallant_JJ

No, afraid not.

Steak

hmm, Killygarry church?

Gallant_JJ

Afraid not. Could give a hint but I fear any help will give it away instantly

Saibh

Church in Butlersbridge?

Yep, your right, St Aidans Butlersbridge. One of the most important buildings in the history of architecture in Cavan. Willian Hague's first church, and the rose window pictured, it's most elaborate feature.

BTW the first two churches mentioned are also Hague churches. Don't know were them educated guesses or just pot luck?

Gallant_JJ

I'll fire up another, if people don't mind. Hopefully it wall gain momentum.

Hard to know if this will be a little hard or will the geographical features be an instant give away!



Edit: The quality of the image is a bit ropey but for the sake of ever downloading the page it can't be much bigger

Gallant_JJ

Its the name of the village or town lurking under the hill that i'm looking for.

flanum

is it swanlinbar?

Gallant_JJ

Yep, Well done

KIVES

Yea, I too will take a guess at the recently refurbished Church in Butler's Bridge...and a fine piece of workmanship it is too - you'd nearly scurry in an say a quick prayer such is it's beauty
