The Musical Wall - Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland


I take part in a tourist cycle challenge in Ireland called 'Brevet Hiberniae'. The idea being that you cycle to pre-determined places of interest in each county, with the eventual goal of cycling to all of them across all the counties in the country. It's good fun, the idea came from France where it can take at least 20 years to complete the challenge. Anyway, this is a picture of what is called the 'Musical Wall'. Run a stone along the top and it sounds pretty musical apparently.
 
Me. About half a century ago :)

Ah, just read the rules. Clearly slightly out of the date window. Disregard please :D
 
OK, decision time. Thanks all for the entries! I liked all the takes on 'cycle' - from the decay and renewal of miktec's photo to the spectacular scenery in Ian's. Martin's photo reminds of a many a tough ride that has ended with a pint and good cycling stories. halvis and cj66 photos made creative choices in framing. In the end, I'm going to go with Marchbank's photo, which does a nice job of combining two themes (metal recycling and a bike), plays with DOF and has me wondering about the various bits and bobs. Over to you MB.

BTW, RoA is that what they call a skinsuit?
 
Oops, I had totally forgotten about this, and I’ve just had my attention drawn to it. Thank you! I had hoped Martin might win, but I’ll gratefully accept the challenge of thinking of a new subject. To be continued...

anything?
