No need for an uprising, I will get back to natural history photos in a sec. I just like this shot of locks of love on a bridge over the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland. It always fascinates me that people would attach their "lock of love" to, well, someone else's lock! Think about it...  Locks of Love over the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland

There is a lot of reason to use HDR photos (high dynamic range) when shooting pics where there is a lot of light change across the photo. And digital cameras today are in tune with this. The idea is to bracket a photo's exposure and then combine the shots digitally to make a better pic. This is not an altogether perfect fix to difficult lighting conditions, but can be quite useful at times. Here is a pic without such... 
In Ireland, colored doors are part of the culture.
But few have the time to sit around and wait for the light to be just right on a particular door. So while this shot is okay, it can be improved with a bit of HDR work. I took three photos of the door, at metered, plus one and minus one. Putting this into software that averages them, I got this shot.

And I think this is better pic of a colorful door in Ireland.
 So, here is the statue of Saint Patrick in his cathedral in Dublin, Ireland.  And here is how most tourists see the "Irish" on Saint Patrick's Day...green leprechauns. But no matter how Irish you are, or how much green you wear...
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to everybody! 
One week until St. Patrick's Day! This photo is a panorama from Wicklow.

St. Patrick's church is a big thing. Here is a picture that captures a bit of it.
The upper section of the stream at Glencree, Ireland.
I was chastised for not including a location on the limpet photo from yesterday. I have corrected that, and included the species of limpet as well.
 Limpets on the rocks on the Irish shore, with a gathering of sea stones, at low tide. These seem to be the limpet Patella vulgata, and were photographed in the Sandycove area of Dun Laoghaire. Specifically at:
29U 692302E and 5908206N 
Glendalough, the "upper lake" near the monastery of Saint Kevin in Wicklow, Ireland.
