[Leica] Sunday Shot

[Douglas Barry]

Living here in Ireland, there's a dearth of superstition. The view through 
Hollywood's lens of Ireland via the likes of Darby O'Gill and the Little 
People, Finian's Rainbow and films of that ilk would have many simple sons 
of the Stars'n'Stripes (Trump voters) thinking we're always chasing 
leprechauns and pots of gold at the bottom of rainbows, but I gave that up 
last year -  although I still buy the occasional lottery ticket :-)

However, we did give the feast of Samhain to the US, and you lot transformed 
it into Hallowe'en and gave a more garish version back to us. As I type 
this, the light is disappearing into the enveloping dusk. Soon the night 
will be alive with hordes of deformed monstosities and our door will be 
besieged with the neighbourhood's disguised children demanding Trick or 
Treat. Unfortunately, gun ownership is illegal here :-)

On retirement, as someone who retired four years ago, I can tell you I'm 
baffled as to where all my time goes, so forget about gravestones, enjoy the 
experience, and I hope you produce many books of photography, and not just 
the one of the Eastern Shore.

Douglas
