The Emerald Isle

So some time ago now, two companions and I took a short break to Northern Ireland, Belfast in fact. Within those four nights and five days, we crammed in a fair few activities. Traditional Irish pubs, coach excursions to popular landmarks around the coast, a foggy day out at the Zoo and a visit to the Titanic museum (an outing almost foiled by the Queen who, unbeknown to us, was due to visit that very same museum the same day).

I must say the Emerald Isle lives up to its name, especially through some of these photographs which I took over the course of the mini-holiday. Sure, we didn't have the best weather - in fact there were floods nearby - but we made the most of what we were given, and the sun seemed to come out at the perfect moment for taking beautiful pictures of a unmistakably picturesque landscape. 

May I disclaim that these were taken with a rather old camera whose quality rapidly diminishes with each zoom. Considering that, these aren't bad quality really.
Okay, so nearly two months on and I finally get around to showcasing my favourite pieces from the holiday, but at last they are here:
