Ireland, Spring 2007, Hook Head, Co Wexford. The oldest lighthouse in Europe. The tower of the lighthouse was built in 13th century over the estuary of the 3 rivers (Suir, Barrow and Nore, according to Wikipedia) and on the rocky shore of Celtic Sea. I would like to come back for a whole day. It is very scenic place and I would take a lot of brilliant pictures of it, I am sure of that. Camera: Konica Minolta A1 DiMage
