Halle-flippin-lujah she's back. I've been like a junkie all week suffering withdrawal symptoms. Believe me "Cold Turkey" is not a nice state to be in. Welcome back Carol and I hope thats the end of the leave for this year?

There's an awful lot of weight at the rear of that car and that gentleman in particular. A lot of it is behind the back axle and it could make life interesting going up a steep hill. Imagine travelling on that in a downpour?

Swordscookie Lovely to be back! But afraid not on the leave front. Don't know how to break this to you gently, so you'll have to be a brave soldier - I'm going away again next week (feast or famine!)... But then I'll be around for ages, no flitting off on tourist cars for me! Though if this picture was taken today, the poor tourists would still be huddling in blankets. Brrrr and boooo to the arctic winds!

Crowded buses even then.

Michiel2005 Wonder if it was the same back then - that you waited for ages and then two came along at once?

The Great Northern Hotel built 1894.

Something odd going on here; the Great Northern Railway Hotel has five gables, whereas a similar photo has only four - L_IMP_3291 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000327492

It looks to me to be a photo of a painting of a photo, I wonder if the original plate is catalogued.

Pretty sure that's not a horse.

At the risk of making an ass of myself ,I think its a donkey.

They're actually goihng up a sllight hill. The image has been taken with the camera canted 3 degrees right. This may help with locating it.

What has he got in his basket ? It looks a lot like an early version of the Duck Army - youtu.be/nHc288IPFzk

How many places in Ireland called Ballyshannon? Which of them had such a a show in 1908? Do other photos of this location exist?
