Ah, delighted. Thanks!

Yes, the wrath of the French legal system will be brought upon me if I attempt to sell a print. Oh well.

It's a stacked image of 8 separate shots taken a second apart.

Apparently photos of the Eiffel tower taken by day are copyright feee - but once the lights come on the copyright 'switches on'.

Great shots - well done to all

Havn't seen maddog around for a while - wonder if he has gone on that US photo tour?

He didn't say on the originl post where it was - it was just entitled 'THE KEEP'.
Think he was down around Killarney in mid June - so it may be around there somewhere - just a guess.

Keps was on the right track. Seems to be Ross Castle in Killarney. poundhound has another good shot of it in the RPT: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=79917726&postcount=816

Hmmm... maddog, poundhound - I wonder does it have some kind of canine attraction?

Yes. Definitely Ross Castle. Been there quite a few times but always had poor light. Maddog has grabbed a perfect window. Bad weather = No Tourist in shot but been ready for that perfect light which only lasted a few minutes. Wonder if he buys tickets in the lottery too?
