HX Report
Irishman in the Middle East
Weekly Photo Challenge – Landscape
Posted on April 1, 2016
This weeks photo challenge from Cheri is Landscape.
As part of the Summer Solstice Festival back home in HX every June, the festival organisers host a ‘Long walk for the Long Day’ on 21 June, the solstice day. It’s generally around the lake area, with the permission of local farmers. The scenery is stunning; although ten-a-penny in Ireland. When you live in the Middle East desert for a number of years, you more fully appreciate just how stunning it actually is.
MB took this shot on a rainy 21 June evening last year, 2015. Awesome shot MB. Thanks lads.

The Irish national TV station (RTE) aired a centenary celebration show in recent days relating to the rising event and all that followed in Ireland to this day. MB is sure he has never seen a better TV show in his entire life. And thanks to friend and HX follower SC for posting a link on fb which caught MB’s attention. Read More
