So Beautiful!

Sadly the Carlisle pier is no more. The line had been disconnected and lifted when the DART was being introduced.

Is it common for shrubs to have their leaves in the middle of December there?

昔の鉄道、とくにSLってかわいいですね。 風景そのものに夢や愛嬌がありますね。

The wiki article has a similar 'now' view - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lough_Beagh

Glenveagh Castle (middle left, see note) built 1873. Interesting and tragic history of Captain John Adair and his tenants - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenveagh_Castle "It is said that a curse was placed on the castle due to the cruel evictions which resulted in none of the subsequent owners to bear any heirs to the family name." "Hollywood stars such as: Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo vacationed at the castle whilst McIlhenny owned it."

I agree with the description. Beautifully wild and a little forbidden-looking.
