county down pt 2

here is group two of the pictures from county down...



this is part of castle ward, which is a huge estate dating back to some time a while ago. it wasn't terribly old, and it was very very big, and closed. so we drove around, and took a few pictures. this is the best one. i like the clouds in the background. ireland has very cool skies. they can be 6 different colors all at once, and then 6 completely different colors 6 minutes later. i'm sure there's probably a castle ward website if you are really interested, but there are cooler things to see in county down.



this is an oak tree. that's it, just a tree. i think it's neat. you occasionally hear about big oak trees in ireland, and now here is one. so there. i like it.



speaking of things irish that i like but others may find boring...here is a road. this was just outside castle ward, but it was much nicer than the actual castle part. just a peaceful irish road in county down...that's it



we saw this really cool rainbow while driving somewhere. i don't remember where, and i tried for a long time to get a good shot of it, but by the time dad found a spot to pull over, this was the best i could do. the really cool thing about it was that you could actually see the end of it most of the time. and if you really looked close enough...you could see the leprechauns hiding their gold in the little caves...
