Beautiful Little Izzy

Roger — Tue, 31 May 2011 22:10:34 +0000

Haven’t had much of a chance to be updating my site recently, too busy being a dad! Funnily enough I haven’t really been taking any pictures other than of Izzy. Here are a few pics of baby izzy, you can see why I’d rather spend time with her than a computer screen (though I did just splash out on an iPad 2, great fun).

Spring is here!

Sunshine, the best way to start a day!

Banagher Glen

Banagher Glen is a beautiful Forest in the Sperrins, it is one of the oldest ancient oak woodlands in Ireland and it contains Altnaheglish Reservoir and Banagher Dam. If you are ever going up for a walk I’d recommend taking a map with you. We didn’t and ended up walking all over the place, signage is pretty much non existent.

Belvoir Park, Belfast

Took a walk around Belvoir Park in Belfast yesterday morning, it’s a beautiful forest within the city, opened in 1961 and covers 75 hectares along the south bank of the River Lagan.

Belfast At Night

Headed out the other night into Belfast for a few snaps at night. We started up Ormeau Road by the lagan and walked back down to Queens Bridge, very nice walk though I’d never do it alone. Would always advise taking a friend out with you at night. All the gear is a wee bit on the pricey side to lose!

Belfast Shipyard

Belfast Shipyard

Just read on the BBC that visitors to the Thompson Dry Dock (the dock the Titanic was built) at the old Belfast Shipyard are to pay for the privilege.

The Northern Ireland Science Park have obviously seen pound signs in their eyes, what with visitor numbers on the up and tourist season approaching.

I Took a walk around the Shipyard a few weeks ago and to be perfectly honest there isn’t much to see to make it worth spending any sort of entrance fee. I’d understand their motives a bit better if there were visible signs of investment in the area (other than fancy, empty apartments and office blocks). I’ve got a feeling naming an area after a sunking ship wasn’t such a good idea, bad omens and all that…

If urban decay happens to be your thing though, it’s well worth the visit, plenty of rust!

Close up of waterfall at Crawfordsburn

We took a walk around the Glen at Crawfordsburn Country Park yesterday. Unfortunately quite a dull, flat sort of day but it’s a really nice place for a quick walk

Crawfordsburn is situated on Belfast Lough, between Belfast and Bangor. There are three marked trails – the Coastal Path, the Glen Walk and the Meadows Walk. The Glen Walk is the shortest of the three, and being pressed for time, the one we took. It passes through some very nice scenery including a five-arched railway viaduct and a pretty cool waterfall.

Sunday Snaps

Washed up

Each Sunday some friends and I try to get out of the house and away from the screen for a few hours.

Last week we took a walk along the coastal path between Holywood and Bangor. The weather was blowy to say the least, but the sun shone (a bit too low, but at least it was out) and the sea air was good for the soul!

choppy waves!
