  • Cuddly Nutter said:
    I can hear her now "Off with his head !!" or was that the Queen of Hearts ?
  • La Belle Province said:
    Wikipedia tells us that "The Queen of spades is considered to be a sign of intelligence. It is representative of judgment that is practical, logical, and intellectual. It represents a woman who is creative and makes her plans ahead of time." My guess is that she's off to a Tchaikovsky opera.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Cuddly Nutter Yep, Queen of Hearts.

    If the world does end today - It was nice knowing you all. By the way - is it GMT or Mexican time I should be worried about? By the way two - there is no Dog in this Photograph....
  • DannyM8 said:
    The bones of three dogs were found in the chamber of Newgrange during excavations, one each from the east and west chambers and one from just outside the end chamber. It is not known for sure whether these bones are ancient or more modern. It is thought they may have belonged to stray dogs who got into the passage but could not get out again.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    If you're very, very good DannyM8 the first photo of 2013 will have a Dog in the Photograph! :)

    It looked much nicer 100 years ago... Today the stones feel a bit plastic...

    I just went out and bought a 2013 calendar from a shop that says it sells Mayan stuff. I'm suspicious. It's just 12 sheets of blank paper stapled together.

    How times change...Wow!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Fabio >>>>>E & family/friends>>>> I'd like to see what contraption they were going to use to get a heavy bag of sand home with them...
  • >>>>>E & family/friends>>>> said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons That, will be worth another great photo!!
  • Tammy said:
    maybe a sandbox for the children? I doubt it.. but I would like to think that is what it was for. Would have been heavy for sure!

Spectators at racecourse

  • smrhd (away) said:
    I assume this is in or around Dundalk.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Yes, but ashamed to admit personal knowledge of Dundalk racecourses is very limited (or maybe that's a sign of my clean living). Either way, it'd be great to get a name, and exact location...
  • rafferr said:
    This photograph is part of the Harry Tempest Collectioin and it is the Dundalk Race Course. You can see the Cooley Mountains in the background and the site it still a race course.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    rafferr Thanks a million. If you have a second, could you please have a look on the map and see if I placed this photo in the right location?
