What I did this Summer

Just a montage of clips from my trip back home to Ireland.
Two weeks of visiting friends, family and feeling lucky i grew up somewhere so beautiful.
Thought I'd share it.
I watched the sun set and rise every day while there... thats one thing that I really miss... the skies! No pollution, no crap, no chemtrails, no millions of planes overhead... they were breathtaking!

Music featured includes:
The Second Twilight- Deep Forest
Ask The Mountains - Stina Nordenstam and Vangelis
Hoppipolla - Sigur Ros

Places featured include
the Dublin to Sligo train route :-D
Scenes around Yeats County in Sligo Ireland- Ben Bulben, Sligo Bay, atop Knocknarea, Lough Gill, Lake Isle of Innisfree, Donegal Bay... photos taken by a childhood pal of mine, all around where we grew up.

And those are my nephews and nieces- had a full house while i was home!! :-D

If Sligo Tourism board wanna send any cheques my way.... ROFLMAO

Peace and Love




THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE

By William Butler Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a-glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear the water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

1892

a very beautiful vlog!! especially the footage of water and sunsets...

hey, i got a question. is the word 'knocknarea' gaelic? what does it mean?

[TheSpartacat]

Thanks hun.

Knocknarea is "Cnoc na Ri" in Gaelic, means The Hill of the Kings... that part of Ireland is steeped in legend of Fionn and the Fianna and the old Celtic Kings and Queens of Ireland. It's where Queen Maeve was reputed to be buried.

It has a lump on the top because everyone who climbs it, takes a rock from the bottom and put it on the top of her grave/cairn. She was a bad ass warrior queen! :-D
