Moira Thanks for the map!

What a fantastic building!

And what a lovely photograph of it? I have often admired it when passing and it does look so good in this!

Nice photo. Indeed it is a lovely building. Also looks like God's Country there.

Funnily I think the manmade objects in the foreground take from the view. It is a beautifully well taken photograph and each on its own would look well but the one does not rhyme with the other IMO!

Swordscookie Oooh, controversial! ;) I actually like the juxtaposition of the tamed versus wild landscape. But what I really like is that the photo wasn't taken from the most obvious spot - directly in the middle of the steps down to the water, but skew-whiff instead...

Have snapped that view myself a few times. It's difficult to capture the (manicured) foreground and (natural) background sympathetically. Though it looks smashing in real life. (On first visit I remember being intrigued when reading in the brochure blurb that those winged horses in the middle-ground are made in - of all things - zinc!)

This is paradise. I wonder if they skated on the pond in the winter.

Fairytale :-))

Still very much there, I even had the occasional meal maps.app.goo.gl/h6oa6ndoVVhXdDxP6?g_st=ic

Reg IK657 is Co. Dublin, Dec 1903 – Mar 1927, early in that date range

IK 657 is registered to W. T. Stewart, Killymoon, Donnybrook in the Irish Motor Directory 1914 - 1915 at the invaluable lennon wylie pages.

I think it is a Model T Ford (1907+ in Ireland ?). I don't remember ever seeing one with landaulet coachwork. Rear seat high up in a separate cabin with convertible roof. Mutton dressed as lamb? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landaulet_(car)
