    Doughiska. I have a few, but I thought I could embed photo in the message so I need to work out how to do that so that the image doesn't have to be clicked on to be seen

    After you upload the image you will see a number of links listed, the one you need to copy is the "Direct Link" Copy that address and when you are creating the post click on the the little yellow "Insert Image" icon and paste that link you copied in to the box that pops up and it will embed it into the post.

    For images you have already uploaded you can open the image, right click on it and choose "Copy Image Location" and paste that link into the box in the post when you click on the yellow "Insert Image" icon, like so

    The first photo (of the 'wildflower meadow') is quite nice. Perhaps it needs a bit of cropping -- the photo, that is, not the grass.

    I appreciate you're making quite a different point with the other two pix, though.

    I do like the long grass, even in that photo behind the goal nets. 354554.jpgThink that's only an oversight that it's been left but do like it being there.
    They cut the rest of the area with a tractor so obviously couldn't do that bit the same way.

    The uprooted tree 354555.jpgwas just in the folder where I'd sent the resized images. It dates back a couple of months but seems to be a prevailing trend in the area. People keep uprooting or otherwise damaging plants locally. That shot was taken after coming out of the Africa Day celebration in the school

    I didn't take it sonandheir but it was such a class shot I had to post it.

    GIAF used a drone last year for some cool video clips, maybe they were using that this year too? or I wonder if it might have been shot from the Skywhale at some stage?

    Were the wooden locks removed or did all the recent rainfall overwhelm them and wash them away?

    Considering they were never to be used again, I rather like the replacement...

    Removed by council, WI have nothing to do with Corrib system.

    They'll be replaced. The price is staggering compared to similar projects, questions have been asked as to why so expensive.

    They'll never be used against but the powers that be insist on installing new lock gates.

    Signs been there for months stating no watersports. What kind if an idiot would kayak so close to there in the first place? Or are you just trying to increase premiums for the rest of so you can line your pockets? This claim culture we've gained in recent years makes me sick

    Shows the compo mentality of some people if that's the first thing that springs to their mind, almost as if they are scouting for an "accident"
