Lovely stuff, Tommy, I really like the delicate tones in the Lough ones.  What is that tower in the first?

Thanks guys

Odille, The Round Tower is an impressive reminder of Antrim’s ancient monastic settlement. The tower was built around the 10th century as a bell-tower for protection from raiders and is known locally as The Steeple. It is 28 metres tall and is one of the finest of its kind in Ireland. The monastic site was burned in 1147.

This is about 10mins walk from my home

Lovely set TK - I like the light in the first one in partciular, and the colour in the water in the third! Funny how these make me think that snow here would be good, but then I remeber snow = cold/wet!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys,

Yeah Ross - Looking out at the snow is lovely.  It makes everything look photographic... Then you step out into the lovely white stuff, realise your toes are getting number, along with your fingertips and ears!  Walking becomes increasingly difficult without falling on your bum then you think to yourself... why didn't I have a nice warm indoor hobbie???
