Ireland

Inside the Guinness Storehouse.
St.Stephen's Green, Dublin.
The fountain of the Three Fates, St Stephen's Green, Dublin.
Commissioned in 1956, this statue was sent over by the German Federation to express their gratitude to the Irish for their help and generosity after WW2 had ended. The Irish put forth great efforts to help German refugees after World War II focusing mostly on helping German children.

Going for a walk in the park..
At 22 acres, St. Stephen's Green is one of the largest parks in Dublin, and it's located right across the main shopping area of Grafton St.

Originally a marshy area that was used for grazing, it was converted into a park back in 1664. Access to this park was restricted to residents only until 1877.
You can see Dalkey Island in the background. Took this snap from a Suburb of Dublin, about 25 mins S. Full of winding narrow roads it was dotted with some rather impressive mansions.
About 30 Minutes south of Dublin, you will find the Powerscourt House and Gardens.
Occupying 47 acres, the house was initially a 13th Century Castle.
In addition to the well manicured Gardens, there is also a fair bit of Woodlands.
And some terrific vantage points from where you can see the Wicklow Mountains.

The Pepperpot Tower was built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales to Powerscourt.
Looking down from the observation tower.
And finally a glimpse of the Powerscourt House from atop the tower. If you are tired of walking around Dublin, I highly recommend spending an afternoon here.
Powerscourt Waterfall is about 10 minutes drive S of the Gardens.
