Whereas we get many days in February that aren\u2019t sunny, we get lots that are filled with lovely Spring light.  And these are days for walks and photographs!  Capture detail, contrasts and pops of colour; or go riverside for crystal-clear reflections.  Just see what catches your eye! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took the following pictures on the West side of Athlone. And while much is changing along the west bank of the Shannon \u2013 with a new boat club underway, and a major transformation at the No.1 Battery \u2013 the town\u2019s history is still being told by the barges, the fishing boats, and the handsome Railway Building from the 1850\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My last picture was taken along the family\u2019s route from St. Peter\u2019s N.S., and I could remember that building when it was the Cobbler\u2019s in the 70\u2019s.  Was he a Mr Robinson?  I posted the photo to the Athlone Down Memory Lane site, and a great big number of very fond memories of Paddy Robinson flooded in; every picture does indeed tell a story!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
