ireland
one of svend's recent posts on ireland (well, on the commodification of irish culture), combined with having watched bits of celtic woman - a new journey on WETA last night, has got me pining for ireland.
so i'm including three of my old pics here. nothing fancy... my ireland pics didn't come out as good as i had hoped. these are from a trip in late march 1998, which i took during easter holidays while i was studying in edinburgh for my MSc in writing and cultural politics. it was a truly memorable trip - we were as cheap as possible, taking a train from edinburgh to holyhead and an overnight ferry (filled with drunken irish and welsh headed for a rugby game) to dun laoghaire, stayed in the dublin youth hostel the first night, and a tiny, unheated hostel in kinvara the second night, then the third night ferried and trained back to edinburgh.
here are
a scene from a short walk we took in kinvara trying to get to a bus stop early one morning
a sketch i made near sunset in clifden, a town in connemara
mountains in connemara, taken from the bus, since i couldn't very well ask the dude to stop...
i have had this dream for years, of taking my dad to see ireland, since even though he lived in the UK for years, he never traveled there. inshallah...

... and me, please?
Is there an official border between Northern Ireland (UK) and Ireland now, given that both are part of EU?
cuz, sure!!! it would be a blast!!!
mezba, honestly i don't know, seems like abu sinan would prolly know better. but i would imagine the border is still there since they are separate nations still.it would be like there not being a border between france and spain or something. i think.
