Your Favourite North County Picture - No Pic = No Post

LeoB

Just as the title says folks, post your favourite picture of N.C.D here with a short description of where it is and what you like about it. Fingal has such a lot to offer maybe a few pics would encourage us to explore what is on our door step. No Pic = No Post
Max 2 photos per post

O.K I will start it off. The estuary is so peaceful with plenty of bird life. Good walk from The spout Rd to Railway tracks and back.

Would not copy the other photo properly. But this is a great beachfor surfing but not great for swimming because of the sand banks. Take 2 steps and the water goes from 2 foot to 5 foot. But its a good walk

I'm no great shakes with a camera but I love High Rock in Malahide when the sea is rough.

Nice colours in windmill shot:)

Folks can we add a little description to our posts, ie exact location is there a walkway near and something brief about area. It might encourage new (and not so new) people living in this area to go and see some of the lovely spots in Fingal.
Thanks

Hope QOTSA90 does not mind me posting this of Rush Harbour

[EMAIL="%3Ca%20href="][/EMAIL]">

This harbour is situated at far end of village if you come in from Dublin Rd. Drive straight down the Main St and you will come to it. Parking available on Harbour Rd and car park at Harbour Bar. Good view of Lambay Island, Drummanagh, 2 good beachs and a short walk around Hand Pk. Nice bowl of soup awaits in Harbour Bar, or something a little stronger;)

This is a shot of Balbriggan harbour from the pedestrian bridge in the train station. Taken in November 3 years ago when we used to actually have sun on occasion.

Edit: Glad I attached it, didn't realise it was so big. Apologies and I can resize if it's a problem.

Ardgillen Park. (http://tinyurl.com/ardgillan-park) Between Balbriggan & Skerries. Taken the first day I got my new DSLR.

sgarvan #3 has great potential. Hope you are enjoying the camera.

On a sunny clear day if you go a little further towards castle and move to the right you will capture the nice deep green grass, blue sea and the Cooley/Mourne Mtns in the background. You could also really strike it lucky and get a trawler from Balbriggan.

Most posts have water in them which is not suprising, it gives creedance to the people who might want that coastal walk or coastal walks on the agenda. Howth unveiled a number of Walks recently and I think there is scope for for quite a few more.

I took both of these photos in Ardgillen Park last year.

Thanks for the hints LeoB. Yeah really enjoying the camera now that I have stocked up on a few lens. Havent been back up to Ardgillen since I took them. Must go back up there and try and get a shot like you are talking about.

just as you come into rush.

i filtered the colour.
makes me smile when i see this in the morning i think its funny.

The smaller windmill which is located just outside Skerries. Not quite as impressive as it's big brother the Great Windmill but still beautiful to look at and stunning at night too.


And Ardgillan Castle: Beautiful grounds - the rose garden, the walled garden - great views and a great playground for the kids - all for free (well, donations accepted in the house).

Very nice day out

I drive by this field every day and never noticed these. Plenty of room to trick around with these. Id say ya need a big cue? Interesting

rush south beach this morning. a little over exposed but i was shooting into the sun

LeoB

Martron I really like this photo. May I be so bold as to suggest a little crop, at the bottom about half way in towards the horse and a small bit at top:) More landscape. Excellent.

Martron

i only lashed it up i was going to put a border on it. thanks for the suggestion though much appreciated

I'm giving this a bump. It is summertime folks - I'm sure you've got lots of snaps of DCN that you could post up to brighten our days.
