Photo Hunt - Dark


The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is dark. This photo was taken in the Malpaso Bar in Millstreet on a quiet Monday evening. It may be a small pub but I love it.

    I am surprised that there is a quiet bar. Most bars I have seen are either too rowdy or noisy.

  64. Always enjoy a good ub, but prefer a well-lit one as I am typically playing cards or trivia. I took a different slant on the theme.
