As winter starts in Athlone....

Finally winter started in Ireland...my first winter,here (last time, i was at home, in kerala). My hubby says this time it,seems to be colder than last time, as temp drops to 0 deg celsius even at mid-day (usually that happens at night).

Some views....[the time is between 9 am and 10 am]

...and finally our normal day time temperature....

note: my colleague Simon (from Dublin) says he should have never stayed here..cos as Athlone is in midlands (centre part of Ireland), the cold here is unbearable..

  15. Wow. That mist one is amazing. That second one is nice too. After the fall shot, you can almost feel the cold. it's getting cold here as well but nowhere near as cold as it used to be up north.

    great pics
