Newcastle

This weekend I took a little trip to Newcastle with my boyfriend to stay the night at the Slieve Donard hotel.  We headed down on Saturday and arrived to some pretty miserable weather, so we made the most of the spa facilities and I kicked his butt in the arcade.  I didn't take any pictures on the Saturday, but Sunday turned out to be a lovely day, the sun was out and the sky was blue.  We went to Silent Valley, which is a huge reservoir in the mountains, and it was beautiful!  

We realised we don't have many pictures together, so I took this in a huge, shiny sphere! 

 If you look closely you can see a tiny point on the mountain between the two spikes, this is the tallest point in Northern Ireland.

 In real life this mushroom was huge! So it immediately drew my attention

This is cropped in a good bit because I'm easily stressed out by insects and couldn't get very close to it

Belfast

For this post I'm going to share some pictures I've taken round Belfast on different occasions and my next post will be Belfast in the snow.  I'm not that fond of cityscapes, I'm trying to come round, but it's pretty difficult, I just think most buildings are quite ugly.

This is Queen's University, this is where I go to school!

The wheel that was beside the City Hall, which has been removed.

I like to try and get shots with the Harland and Wolff cranes in them somehow.

The lady with a hoop which stands beside the River Lagan.

Ormeau Park, it's so beautiful and got the cranes in there too.
