Wicklow, demanded, that as I live close enough to Greystones, I might remember to take a relevant shot or two the next time I was down there. Well, I was down there today. Here is a pic of the house that Micheal Collins & Kitty Kiernan viewed with the intention of purchasing just before he was shot. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Brooklands_Greystones.jpg.html This pic shows the house that Eamon & Sinead De Valera lived in after his escape from jail. De Valera retreated to the US to fundraise from mid 1919 to the end of 1920 and during those years Michael Collins called regularly to bankroll his lonely wife. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Edenmore_Greystones.jpg.html Dull day and the shots were taken with a Nikon D200 with 24mm Nikkor lens at F8.
