There's more to Ireland than that :)

Ireland has castles.

Skara Brae. Over 5,000 years old.

Pretty cool imo.

Why thank you, but mine is not quite that big.
Also, get your eyes checked: it's right in the middle of the picture. They call it the Spire. We call it Bertie's Finger (Bertie Ahern being our Taoiseach/PM at the time...)

Edit: I never noticed it at the time, but the way the picture is framed it's like Daniel O'Connell is saying "Look at this! Look what they did! I helped free Ireland, and they put this ****ing huge ***** up in front of me!" :laughing:

^ I love the way the glazing opens up to turn the front of the stadium into one huge proscenium arch, like you get inside a traditional theater. The football field becomes the stage - it's all very neatly done.

A typical Frownland type post that seems to invite the question, What is Architecture?

Rather than answer that just now, I thought I'd pick up on another aspect of his photo - the size of the construction. As you can see from the chair outside, it's pretty small. I was hoping to post some more small architecture, specifically a Native American wigwam and a London phone box, but I'm having real problems posting images recently; I copy the codes but they all seem to be blocked. :(
