It's not. I licensed it from sportsfile and should have stated that in the post - I'll fix that now

Paulw

It's been some mad rain.

Here's a few from my area.

This is the local football pitch



It didn't stop the kids trying to play football on the pitch though.

We managed to get our cricket match played in the conditions. Wish we hadn't because we lost the semi final.

Haha! Is that Charlestown Paul? (I used to live there). Here's some from down the road...

Paulw

Mad rain, and mad flooding.

the way its going we'll be having our christmas dinner in the sunshine on the decking. what a summer. like a swimming pool here. Was watching the kerry and galway match and they announced over the intercom that jones road was floded and not to exit using it. lucky it was not a full house.

Bring the speedos along with the camera. one of those waterproof housings is looking like a good purchase.

It amazes me that the place floods so easily when the rain isn't that heavy.

Very near the same amount of rain fell in 1986, no mention of global climate change back then. The reason there's so much catastrophic flooding is poor planning and poor drainage, nothing else. Look at Croke Park pitch, zero flooding, it took the same rain as everywhere else.

Flooding on the m1. Was stuck in traffic for 3 1/2 hours...



3 more at http://gallery.me.com/dara.munnis/

Agreed.

Sure the Tolka only floods because it's bed is cemented!
Still though, it was a bit biblical yesterday. Is that the worst of it over?

Arciphel

I think it has settled down today, althought it was very windy during the night ...

My fave pic from yesterday ==>



Now, you'd think he would be able to drive thru it!

I was in the Park with RoryW & co yesterday on the Boardsies day out to the Zoo. I stayed behind with my wife and kids for the afternoon and got washed out. This was the park as I was leaving.



I'm just glad I don't live in the Tolka Valley apts in Finglas. We had drive up on the path as the Tolka had burst her banks and there was sewage flowing up out of the shores. Ooooh the stench.

CabanSail

Went down to the Liffey today & some were enjoying the extra water.

Jazus Caban, thats some mess on O'Connell St. Could have sworn I saw some turnips in one of those photo's that that poor lad was trying to pass. They must have washed down from Moore St.:D

After all that rain this is what I got yesterday!!!



Taken just outside my back garden!!! It was hard to get it all in the frame I was at the end of my garden and back as far as I could go and this is what I got!!! I like it!!!

Alun

Well done, and a double rainbow at that!

Thank you!!!

It lasted for ages!!! I couldn't believe it!!! I had to go back inside though because it was raining as I was taking the shots!!!

I probably would have gotten the top rainbow in a bit more if I had of stayed longer but my camera was getting wet, I was getting wet and my head was only thinking about that!!! :rolleyes::D Haha!!!

Thanks again!!!

CabanSail

You can use that Rainbow/Sky & put an interesting foreground on it.

Freddie59

PaulW - those shots of the football field are unbelieveable. It really is hard to credit how much rain has fallen. It's only when you see shots like this it sinks in.

BanzaiBk

I think this thread puts those who claimed Ireland's weather makes it a bad place to actively photograph to shame. Excellent shots all.

l pearse

FYI people...forcsast....Seven more days of rain!!!!:mad::mad:

Thinking of selling the camera & buying some timber to build an ark...!!!

I heard the garden center out the castleisland road had a bit of flooding?

Also, you should have seen how high the lake was down in Ross Castle on Saturday
