In the Dark

By way of a distraction from everything that’s going on in the wider world I thought I’d share a few pictures I took walking around Maynooth University’s South Campus for some exercise the other day. The Spring weather was lovely and the blossom was emerging on various trees and shrubs.

It all reminded me of those famous lines by the poet A. E. Housebound:

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with blossom along the bough.
I’d like to do a woodland ride,
But sadly I am stuck inside.

My favourite picture is the last one, in which the shadow of the building picks up the line of the roof to produce an interesting composition.

Here are a few more, taken today (Saturday)
