Some photos and impressions from Sicily.

On June the 5th my girlfriend and myself went to Sicily on a two weeks' holiday for the first time.

The first ten days we travelled around by car (a tiny Fiat Panda) and the last 4 days we spent in Palermo with only one trip outside of the city to Cefalù.

Sicily is an island with stunningly beautiful scenery,  great beaches, interesting and friendly cities and towns. The food is amazing but what makes Sicily really nice is the people. They are simply wonderful. We met lovely, friendly, chatty and hospitable people there. I hope that some of the people who have my card, will visit my blog and read this. Thank you for making our stay on your beautiful island even nicer. We will never forget the hospitality and friendliness that you have shown us.
The top photo is the view from the town of Enna, then two photos from Castellammare del Golfo and the bottom photo was taken in Erice.

Ivan St John and the Coronas in the recently covered milk market

The 30th of April 2011. This was the first ever concert in the recently covered milkmarket in Limerick City, organised by Dolans, Limerick.
I was there to take photos for ilovelimerick.com (The videos live on ilovelimerick.com and the photos on the ilovelimerick.com facebook page. Check it out)
Difficult lighting conditions but I got some good shots. :)

University of Limerick Fashion Society launch

These are some photos I took for ilovelimerick.com. The University of Limerick fashion society was launched on the 24th of February with a fashion show. The proceeds went to charity.
All the models are students and the dance group is a University of Limerick dance group.
The night was presented by Richard Lynch from ilovelimerick.com and the always beautiful Celine was the drag performer.

A few black and white shots from Lisbon, Portugal.

Just a few shots I took while I was in Lisboa, last June.

Internet explorer is crap.

Just found out that my blog looks horrible in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. The text is not in the right place in some posts.
It looks fine in Firefox and Opera. I haven't checked other browsers yet but I recommend viewing this blog in Firefox or Opera.
More photos coming soon. At the moment I'm in Portugal and I've already taken some beautiful shots in Lisboa.
Thanks to all those people from all over the world who have stopped by to look at my blog. I've had vistors from 94 countries so far. I'm curious to see if and when I will reach 100 countries. :)

The Cranberries in Thomond Park, Limerick
