    On the 25" OSI Map the lower reservoir is already there, but the upper is "in construction. (You have to zoom right in to see them, though.)
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Wikipedia article on the Vartry reservoirs. The lower one was completed between 1863-68, the upper in 1923. The engineer was Parke Neville, the Dublin City and Waterworks Engineer. Plus a 1906 Postcard of the Vartry Reservoir in Stillorgan that this fed into.

    I'd guess from the shadows that it's looking more or less north but I don't see the sugarloaf.

    Fantastic

    derangedlemur I tried wandering around the reservoir on streetview, but eventually gave up. That said, this doesn't look too far off. The Sugarloaf is off to the right left.

[Opstigningen til Nordkap (i.e., Nordkapp), Hornviken, Norway] (LOC)

  • jonhl said:
    "Nordkap", in modern Norwegian "Nordkapp", known in English as "North Cape". One tells tourists this is Europe's northernmost point, but that's not really true- it's the furthest north you can drive a car, though... "Opstigning" means something like "Ascending" - best translated as "The way up to North Cape" - assuming they got there by boat and had to walk/climb all the way up.
