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!"

^ 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.
