Norway, Ireland, 26 June - 02 July 2006

For the last week of my pretty pretty long vacation, I travelled to Norway (Oslo) and Ireland (Galway, Letterfrack, Dublin), Norway (Oslo) again and back.

See also the flickr set (48 photos).

It's time I admitted I like to photograph flags from the countries I visit.

 Spire of Dublin. The Spire of Dublin is a large, pin-like monument, 120 metres (393 ft) in height and lit from the top, whose erection was completed on January 21, 2003 on the site of the former Nelson Pillar on O'Connell Street in the Irish capital, Dublin. (words taken from the wikipedia entry)

 In Copenhagen airport between two flights. Who needs to go to the Copenhagen harbour when there is a replica of The Little Mermaid right in the airport?
