We ALL behaved, just some better than others ...

I think it would be true to say that everyone behaved.

Although some of us may have behaved badly...

Some may have even been Bad to the Bone

Yes it is hot today but other then that

So how are things in Marty land

[Marty]

So the other evening, just coming on to sunset, myself and TN went out chasing the light...

Here's possibly the best of the resultant images.

The title of that piece of sculpture is "Gaelic Chieftain"

Spoiler

(Near Boyle, County Roscommon, Ireland)

This piece of sculpture is visible on high ground above the main N4 road as one drives into the Curlew Mountains between Boyle, County Roscommon and Sligo Town. It stands in a "viewing" area, with views over Lough Key and beyond.

It was sculpted by the sculptor Maurice Hannon, and unveiled on the 12th April 1999 by the then Irish Minister for the Environment and Local Government, Mr Noel Dempsey, T.D., to commemorate the "Battle of Curlew Pass" which was fought between the Irish and the English Elizabethan Crown forces on 15th of August 1599. The English were ambushed and routed while marching through a pass in the Curlew Mountains. The English forces suffered heavy casualties. Losses by the Irish forces were not recorded but were are said to have been minimal. 

This was the last major Irish victory in the so-called Nine-Years War (1594 to 1603) - the ending of which was to result in the "Flight of the Earls" from Ireland to Europe in 1607.

I think @Drew Espinosa needs some time to recharge his batteries, Albert...

Hard work generating all those glitter bombs.

The Irish have some interesting sayings and proverbs.

The Scots don't do too badly in that department, either...

Here's a Scottish saying that always brings a smile to my face:

Here's to you, as good as you are,
And here's to me, as bad as I am,
But as good as you are, and as bad as I am,
I am as good as you are, as bad as I am.

 

[Albert1434]

I like that one
