Orange Flower

Nice bright orange flower to brighten up this Tuesday afternoon – I would call it an orange daisy, but there is probably a proper name for it…

Lough Lannagh

A view of Lough Lannagh, Castlebar, Co. Mayo by night with the orange glow of the street lights reflecting on the water and the white glow of the bridge lights on the rushes

Round Tower

Following on from yesterdays post;  from the outside these shots are The Round Tower & grave yard in Turlough, Castlebar, Co. Mayo illuminated with some bright lights at night

Turlough

Celtic Cross and the light at night highlighting the window openings inside the abbey at the round tower in Turlough, Co. Mayo set in the grave yard showing shades of orange, and some black and white photographs as well… It’s quite an eerie place at night!!

Orange sunset in the country

They say “Red sky at night; shepherds delight, Red sky in the morning; shepherds warning”

I’m not quite sure what they say for an orange sky but I’m sure it’s something along the same lines.  These are a little bit different with the point of focus on the bare trees rather than on the windmills, I feel it gives the shots a different feel. Hope you like them…. Taken in Commauns, Co. Mayo, Ireland.

Orange Lilies

Originally, orange lilies meant disdain, hatred and wealth. Perhaps that may sound strange but in ancient times, there were wealthy families that were cruel to poor families and many of these rich families had orange lilies in their gardens. People started associating the lilies with how much they hated the nasty, wealthy folks. With time, the perception of orange lilies began changing because the orange lily spread all over the world via trade routes.
