Buildings From The Ground Up (Another EuroTrip installment)

Looking at large buildings from the ground up. It happened a lot on my recent trip across the pond. So much so I was inspired to create a post specifically about the neck craining, backwards falling, sun in your eyes shots. Please enjoy from your comfiest chair.

IRELAND

sorry sorry, "Structures From The Ground Up"

Spire

Some post office, they deliver letters and stuff. Nothing REVOLUTIONARY....

Corcomroe Abbey (800 yrs old)

Cliffs of Moher "look off castle". Totally unnecessary building.

Some Castle by Durty Nelly's

Trinity College

Inventor of Salmon

Super judgy girl with a scale.

Dublin Castle

Christ Church Cathedral

England

At the Tower of London. Oldest section still in standing in the foreground.

Some family heirlooms or something in there.

Red Bus

Dragon, rarrrrrr

Temple Church

Owlpen manner estate church

Dave Chappelle, I think this one is called.

Paris

Montparnasse. View from the top is worth checking out.

Luxembourg palace (Senate House)

Fancy gift from Egypt.

Iceland

Hallgrímskirkja

Iceland wasn't super into tall buildings. They got more of a volcano thing going on there.

Europe Trip

Not sure how much I'm gonna keep this up during the upcoming adventures. But let's be optimistic and say that I will. Flying over the Atlantic is pretty dope. I think I saw a whale jump. Tune in later for further developments #JTET

Flying into the morning

It was dark, but it got brighter. I would absolutely equate this to time travel. By God we've done it.

Blue Mountain

You may have heard, or not. That this hiking trailing/ area is in jeopardy of being wiped out by a new development within the HRM. I am not here to take a stance either way. Arguments can be made for both sides. All I really want to say is, I did the hike. It is an incredible view of a large portion of HRM. I highly recommend you get out and do it. Especially if there is a chance it will not be around forever. Read the full story here, http://thechronicleherald.ca/community/halifax/1207117-halifax-park-in-limbo

One major issue with this hike, and the whole park area in general is there is little info about it. It was not the easiest to find (even though its minutes outside of the city). The trail head is at the end of a residential road that offers basically no parking (you can park on the road). Also you need to basically trespass through a private woodlot in order to get to the trail that takes you up the back side of the mountain (mountain being a reasonable hill). Basically you can really tell that the area is in limbo, and a decision on what to do with it has not been made.

That is all I really have to say about that, I will lay out some pics to show you the trail head, and some guiding photos to get you to the top. ENJOY! And GET OUT AND HIKE!
