Location City -  Athlone
State -  RIVER SHANNON
Country - Ireland   Ireland
About The River Shannon (Sionainn or Sionna in Irish) is, at 386 km (240 miles), Ireland's longest river. It divides the west of the island (principally the province of Connacht) from the east and south (Leinster and most of Munster). County Clare, being west of the Shannon but part of the province of Munster, is the major exception. The river represents a major physical barrier between east and west, with fewer than twenty crossing-points between Limerick city in the south and the town of Carrick on Shannon in the north.
The source of the Shannon is in the Cuilcagh Mountains in south County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, from where it flows through Shannon Cave, and rises at Shannon Pot in County Cavan. The river runs through/between 13 of Ireland's counties. Lakes on the Shannon include Lough Allen, Lough Ree and Lough Derg. Tributaries include the River Inny, River Suck and the River Brosna.

Please don't read my abouts if getting tired;))
I know this info might be a bit much every time,
but its also for my own memory to keep it like this..lolll

Enjoy your day, almost weekend!! xxJen

Thanks a lot my sweet Ercole, I was hoping this
would come out the way I took it, which wasn't
easy, but the trunk was attracting me, just like
the trout swimming in there...hoping they would jump up;)))
Wishing you good night, sleep well Jenxx

Its good to hear what I could do different on this one, please can you show me dear John? To make it more clear what you mean........ I thought in making it a square one it might loose
some interest in the water falling down, but you could be very right, just show me my teacher:))
It was great fun to capture this little trunk, hanging there, isnt nature rude sometimes...let it go...let it flow....
Be well and enjoy your weekend, xxJen

Maybe I should put all capital letters fir you my dear Keith, that might help:))
Are you dislectic, or whats it called in English?
I know quite some people having the same prob, thats a difficult thing, I know as a teacher....:(
And no, this wasn't a croc, but maybe I will surprise you one day with one:))) I love these kind of weird things like these trunks, can't keep my eye off until the shot is taken:))
Have a relaxing and wonderful weekend my sweet friend, be well and big kiss, Jenxx

Trunk is the right word dear Alida, I forget about it..lolll
It was wonderful hanging there, and its also a river for trout, I didnt know they jumped up stairs, to get against the stream, I learn a lot on my travels:)))
Wishing you a wonderful and happy weekend, hugs and kissss Jenxx

It really is powerful, we even get electricity from water, and the other day on Discovery they showed how water was harder then concreet, dropping a big barrel:))
And I am so very pleased you are not getting tired
of me and my abouts..lolll
Anyway at least you can realx for 3 days now, laying in the sun, getting the most beautiful tan!
My weekend will be very busy as its Mothersday, so we will leave for my mom tomorrow, its also my sisters birthday and an aunt, all coming together,
another long drive in the heat and no airco...remember me when having a sip of your marguarita...lolll
Enjoy and have a lovely weekend!!!
Big hugs and kiss, Jenxx

Impressive shot, and very good quality on the water details Jen, plus the nice difference between calm water at the top and 'wild' on the waterfall... hmmmm.... I think you could 'play' a bit more with the angle... think about the diagonal waterfall that being into a square frame, starts for excample at the bottom left corner and ends to the top right...
best regards!

I like reading your abouts Jen. Interesting. I have trouble reading but thats not your problem :)) When i saw the thumb nail, i thought Jens put a crocodile up. :( It wasnt to be though :)) I think its a great capture. Log hanging there, waiting for a surge of water to get it on its way. Nice composition as well my dear Jen. Well done :)) Hugs xxx Keith:) :)

I couldnt tell you exactly why I had to give this name when I saw it, but it amazed me, its just a tree, but I could feel the struggle and fight
somehow, maybe just part of myself:))
Quite a comparing with a piece of wood...lolll....very happy you like it dearest friend, big warm hugs and wishing you a lovely weekend!!

True it isn't against the stream at all dear Bobot, just doesnt want to let go.....with the flow:) But somehow when I saw this part of tree struggling there, I knew it would get this name....maybe my own sensitive feelings:)))
Thanks for liking it, be well today, Jenxx

Against the stream or the refusal to go with the flow.. it looks like it's hanging on to the very edge.. it don't want to let go.
wonderful composition Jen, has a profound story here..
great capture..
regards..
