Ireland Photo Tour
Thursday August 29th, 2013
Back in Dublin ... we arrived into city centre this morning with our first photo shoot of the day at Trinity College. While at the college we visited the Book of Kells to see the ancient Celtic scribes and then the famous Long Library of the college.
The rest of the morning and early afternoon the group had free time to photograph and explore some of Dublin. We then spent some time this afternoon at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The Cathedral was a great experience, besides the big picture of the beauty of the church the detail photo opportunities were at every corner of this beautiful structure. It was a living history of Ireland, almost more like a museum.
We reached our hotel by late afternoon with time to relax before dinner. Tomorrow we will be visiting the Guinness family mansion and gardens which are now owned by the state. The some more time in Dublin followed by our pub night at the Merry Ploughboys Pub. Enjoy this evenings selection of photos from Trinity College and Dublin.
Welcome to Dublin ... heading to school first thing this morning.
