Photographs of Galway

Here are some pictures that I've amassed during the unseasonably Mediterranean like weather we've had of late, of what I consider to be one of Galway's most photogenic sites whenever we do enjoy these rare glimpses of sunshine. Where else but Galway could one take one last sip of a warm tin of beer before queuing for the pleasure of launching oneself into the icy embrace of the Atlantic Ocean in front of the critical gaze of mutually red skinned onlookers?

There's a curious lack of photography of this uniquely Galwegian ritual on google images so I thought I'd ask if anybody else enjoys the same sense of schadenfreude at the expense of these effervescent acrobats, and if so, has anyone else got any worthy shots that they'd care to share?

Here are some shots that I took, for more check out my blogpost at http://www.feargalnorton.com

I think that it's quite strange that my thread specifically about Blackrock diving board was added to a collection of photos of Galway. Nice as the shots are, I was asking for specific shots and opinions of the diving board, therefore I think it deserved its own thread in fairness.

But nonethess, I still ain't seen many shots of people jumping, so here's another one of mine that I like, and some of my own favourite shots of Galway since my thread has been moved here.
