This guy was mad at being caught!

This is a large delta kite, almost 9' wide but has great lift with little pull force. I swapped out the central tail with two 40' long yellow and orange strings to match the kite colors. Wind was light to moderate and had no difficulty getting her off the ground. Got lots of attention from passersby's. Definitely recommend.

Not too often I produce an original painting but here's one.: dahlias from my garden and palette!

A photo taken during the 1916 Rising showing the surrender of the 3rd Battalion under DeValera (he’s leading the column with an X over his head) has always had a location description that didn’t agree with me. I grew up in that area and did some research today and finally cracked it (I think). The photo looks like it was taken from 14 Northumberland Road with the grand canal in the distance. Good visual agreement with Google street views as well. Presumably they were being escorted to Beggars Bush barracks and would’ve passed by two other skirmish locations: Mount Street bridge and 25 Northumberland Road. Descriptions online and from news outlets list it as being located on Grand Canal Street Lower which is nearby but not here.
