Night Wanderings

The Midlands were my favorite part of Ireland. What I liked best were my evening walks to Kinnity Castle. It's a hotel built next to some ancient castle ruins. It was the woods that surrounded the castle where I spent most of my time.

This is the driveway to the castle. It was dark when I took this picture, but with the long exposure time it looks like daytime, except for being slightly fuzzy.

This is the same driveway when the sun was still up.

This is me wandering around in the dark. Normally, I would never wander around in the woods in the dark, but in Ireland there are no snakes or bears. I felt safe enough. I dropped the camera which created a nice swirl pattern. Below is an old oak tree with a carpet of bluebells beneath. I look like a witch standing beneath it. If you came across fields of bluebells and no one was looking, what would you do? I laid down in them and buried my face in them. I did that every night. I still look like a witch. All I need is a pointy hat.
