So, Where’s Santa?

Where's Santa? - Dun Lagohaire -2010

My search for fun holiday photos continues…

Here’s one from a trip we made to Dublin, Ireland in November 2010. The town of Dún Laoghaire had finished installing their street decorations – and I captured this shot of Santa and his reindeer – but no Santa – with my tiny Canon PowerShot S95.

Made me smile – sort of like the reindeer and sleigh were on autopilot – without the old man along to guide!

Ireland’s high on my list of places I’d like to return to and spend more time!

Late Fall in Glendalough

From Scott's Portfolio

Last November, we took our Glenbrook Payments Boot Camp “on the road” to Dublin, Ireland – recasting it as “Payments in a Mobile World!” with a lot of new mobile payments-oriented content. We had a great group attending – made our teaching easy and fun!

After the workshop was over, we spent a day touring County Wicklow south of Dublin. That tour included the perch overlooking Luggala that’s included in the current header graphic here – which I’ve coined “Band on the Run” – along with a stop at Glendalough (pronounced Glendalock). Close enough to Glenbrook for my purposes!

This image of the Round Tower at Glendalough was one of the JPEGs that I shot using my tiny Canon PowerShot S95 as we walked around Glendalough in a light drizzle. I love how this version turned out – with the tower in sharp focus and the hills behind in a softer focus with their muted fall colors. I can almost smell the place again as I’m writing this post!

Got to get back to Ireland one of these days – for more of this kind of exploring and photography! Have you been to Glendalough? Share your memories!
