This second photogaph offers a number of contrasts and changes to the earlier postcard. It is perhaps ten years later.The townsmen,except for the young boys,show very little interest in the photographer.Indeed they appear to show no interest at all. The sender of the photograph refers to "Mr Donkey and cart standing in the street" The barrels of porter were a common feature of the town in 1908 and for many years later. The trees attached to the Church of Ireland presbytery are now enclosed by a wall which stood until recent times

Rock Climbing at Muckross Head
Rock Climbing at Muckross Head
This photo was taken at Muckross Head in Donegal in the North west of the country. This spot is known for its excellent climbing opportunities with 90 degree orverhanging roofs and excellent gear placements. The route is called Elvis and is a favourite for experienced climbers due to its strenuous and exposed overhanging crux (hard piece). The climber can reduce the element of danger to a certain degree by placing gear into the rock face as he climbs, however there is always a risk in this sport and gear placements are never 100 percent secure.
