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 was in Ireland in June. Love your country!! Gives a whole new meaning to the word green. :) We didn't find this cozy pub, but did find a couple we really liked. Thanks for a sharing a great shot.
Your entry is dark indeed! Love the photos you had...Have a great weekend! Oh! let me share this quotation, " Life is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you gonna get "... Sounds familiar right? Its from Forest Gump Movie- So, enjoy life, take it easy and savor the time you been down..Keep moving 'cause life is precious...God Bless..c",)
It sure looks like a very cool place to hangout. I actually prefer smaller pubs than the bigger ones. It's more relaxing to hangout in such places, in my opinion ;)
I love that shot. It looks like a good place to relax and hang out. I hope you have a great weekend.

Dark! Dark? Ooo, I see, dark. Sorry it's so blindingly bright out here in the sunshine with the lap top on my .....er......knees.
