Photo Shoot in Carrick-on-Shannon


Sunday's Photo Shoot couldn't have been planned for a nicer day. The pleasant and warm summer sun was with us, 23 members took part, Carrick-on-Shannon looked resplendent and the short few hours we were there did not give us nearly enough time to take as many photographs as we would like. "A return visit" was a call I heard expressed and one I will certainly endorse.
Carrick-on-Shannon is our neighbour and as a County Town it is surely a most attractive one. "Mini City" might be an apt description, but in a nice way. The old town is still there, and now, down every laneway there are new developments.
St. George's Church is a credit to those involved. I was delighted to meet with John Breaden, one of its inspired and dedicated committee. John issued a welcome to the club to return and then he will be happy to give us the full tour, a talk on the history of Carrick and show us an accompanying video in the adjoining Centre's excellent Cinema Room.
My own set of photos are viewable [here...]
