It was pretty cold and foggy today and, in Dublin, the fog never really lifted completely. It looks like tonight/tomorrow is pretty much going to be the same again if the outdoor temperature is anything to go by. Don’t forget the Dublin Simon Community, a non-religious charity helping the homeless. It’s vaguely vulgar to say but the homeless are not just with us at Christmas.

And yes, the photo below is the right way up! I guess the water in the fog crystallised on the twig overnight.

I think it looks quite good.

Here’s the link to the original photo of the Customs House and Liberty Hall… I took it early yesterday morning when the sun was struggling to banish the fog and light up our ‘fair city‘. Since it is Dublin, there’s an oil slick in the bottom left of the photo. Oh dear!

Oh, what the hell, I’ll save you the bother of clicking through to flickr…

I guess I’ve never thought about it but, when I went to the beach this morning, there was frost on the sand!

I don’t think it has anything to do with global warming. At least, I hope not! It’s probably got something to do with the shelter afforded by Dublin Bay and last night’s clear skys. Sky News were predicting -6 Celsius for the Leinster region last night. I thought it was a typo at the time but maybe they were right?

It turns out she has a blog as well and I found two interesting blog posts. One will be of general interest while the other won’t be!

dumpr: fun with your photos.

Here’s my original photo…

Henry St Garda horse

And here’s what dumpr did with it. The nice thing about the website is that everything is automatic and the mashed-up photos are automatically uploaded to your flickr account (if you want).

Considering the current weather in Dublin, the second blog post is very timely.

Maybe two snowflakes are alike ( science involved)

Cold and Windy! Brrr.
