A sunny afternoon on the #RoyalCanal towpath in #Maynooth โ€” I met plenty of fellow walkers enjoying this beautiful amenity as the #IrishRail trains rumbled past.
The rapeseed flowers are really coming into bloom, both in our fields, and, along our hedgerows, including along the banks of the #RoyalCanal near #Maynooth. Not quite the same shade of yellow as the safety front on the #IrishRail trains, but thought it was a fun pairing anyway ๐Ÿ™‚ #Bloomscrolling

Itโ€™s starting to feel like summer along the #RoyalCanal in #Maynooth as the #IrishRail Commuter trains role by under blue skies and fluffy clouds!

Yellow meets yellow โ€” a yellow-fronted #IrishRail Commuter train leaving #Maynooth along the banks of the #RoyalCanal passes a cluster of yellow Dandelions. #Bloomscrolling

When youโ€™re standing in a beautiful dusk scene itโ€™s always tempting to shoot into the setting sun and get those amazing oranges, but when you turn the opposite way you get cool rich blues which can be beautiful in their own way!

I shot this #IrishRail commuter train approaching #Maynooth along a mirror-smooth #RoyalCanal with my back to the setting sun.

An evening #IrishRail commuter train pulling away from #Maynooth along the banks of the #RoyalCanal as it starts its journey towards Dublin, bring home students after a busy day studying in #MaynoothUniversity.
Since itโ€™s Saint Patrick's Day ๐Ÿ€ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช: going through pictures taken in #Ireland in August 2024, travelling from #Dublin to #Belfast with the #IrishRail #Translink #Enterprise #InterCity. Itโ€™s a push-pull train. Thereโ€™s an Iร‰ Class 201 diesel, and โ€ฆ (๐Ÿฅ) itโ€™s got a bar-buffet style #DiningCar (sort of).
