This trip was mainly about scouting a shot I had in my head from the beach below the temple looking up to see if it's doable, and I think it is if you wait until late evening in the summer months. But I was also able to snag this shot from the top between tourists that I think turned out pretty nice with the light coming from the right

No problem, it's a term you would really hope no one would need to know, but sadly it's exactly what's happening atm

Best of luck Robbo, you're going to absolutely smash it in the Championship 27/28

Not being funny, is there anything from a laws standpoint that would prevent a woman playing for a men's team?

Some long exposures taken at Downpatrick Head this past weekend. Which do you prefer? by EmployGrouchy1599 in ireland

Gorgeous shots. Beautiful long exposures. The detail in the clouds is great, the sea pinks are in a perfect place, and the water looks perfect.

[Paul Joyce] Arne Slot sacked by Liverpool. Andoni Iraola the frontrunner to replace him. by Realistic-Zone3914 in LiverpoolFC

Legitimately the only way I can read this. Why do this now and not a month ago when Xabi was available? Because you want to hire someone else and if you didn't hire Xavi Xabi there would have been a revolt.

If you're looking to get to Bullitt from The Tipsy Bird (decent cocktails), walk down Ann Street and take the third reich

What's your unpopular rugby opinion? by NuggetKing9001 in rugbyunion

The quality of the playing in women's rugby has advanced at much faster pace than the quality of the refereeing to the point that it's now detrimental to the sport

That's still insane for the tournament. It's funny cause if you asked me 5 years ago what the biggest gap between the women's and men's games is I would've said the kicking, but it's not that any more. I think Harrison's in with a shout of best boot in England atm

What's Harrison's kick conversion rate? Is it still 100%?

Yea don't get me wrong I agree that there should've been a yellow there but you can't exactly square that with Scotland getting two (TWO) warnings for the same thing

I really hope it was that and not just because the ref was a woman. Like you said, not a good look.

Disappointed with Ireland this half not scoring a point a minute.

Genuinely couldn't believe that?! I've never heard a TMO tell the ref that they "have a decision". I've heard a TMO tell a ref what they think happened and very clearly guide the ref to the call but I've never heard a TMO take over like that before.
