Love the clouds and I'm feelin' the grain.

My God, I KNOW I am speaking with another unfortunate person sharing my Irish genepool, when every time I see his work, it reminds me of some drunken story, often with vomiting! There's a bar in my hometown in Louisiana, on a bayou, with a pier. Summer came, and we'd go waterskiing, then settle down for "boat drinks;" bizzare concoctions of rum, fruit juices, and other unknown items, always of questionable quality, sitting in hot Louisiana Summer sun like that, but always very strong. So, of course, by the time we reached that bar, we were already three sheets to the wind. Invairably, some ass in our party, claiming to be "a little wobbly with his sea legs," would leave the boat, immediately going tumbling into the water, never quite reaching the pier. Hoards of dockside partiers would watch in good humor, applauding, as the idiot sot flailed, none of the rest of us wishing to get wet again, to go after....So up we'd tug from the pier, and up would come the snockered waif, often, pants down to the knees. Once or twice, projectile vomiting followed, neatly into the water of course, so as to appear socially graceful and mannerful.
None of that at YOUR PUB, I guess. HA!
GORGEOUS, moving, exquisite shot, Rory.

I am still trying to catch my breath. I can't get over how beautiful this is. PERFECT exposure, contrast, grain. Classic beauty.

Peaceful, yes, an inspiring and inspired shot. Also, love the title. Your pub sounds indeed "lovely".

Came back to look at this. Some shots need very few words...they lose something with verbiage...this shot stands on its own...title of the bar, a sentence to describe...lovely...leaving all the stories untold...merely whispered on the wind.
