The Star Lines building in the background (Cobh, Ireland)was the embarkation point from which passengers were ferried out to the Titanic to board it's first (and only) voyage.

All the cool kids do!

@onceuponatime,
The Blood Line of Ire Land came back to visit the land of his Mother! Yeah I have never visited this land! but it has a history of great fighters and with your photography it has a green everywhere! Wonderful and I wish you might start crypto base business there!

Cheers~

Unfortunately it has reputations for other things than great fighters too, mostly good but not all!

@onceuponatime,
Actually we heard a lot about UK (Eng, Wales, Scot), but heard a little about Ireland! I don't know why that would be happened! The most I heard about them, they got fighters who could fight against Great Brit!

Cheers~

You've been to many countries. How i wish too

So you can claim Ireland as a citizen since your grandmother grow up there?

I could, yes. I think it can be a lot of paperwork though :-)

I think you should make sure that next time you go sightseeing in Ireland you hop across on the Ferry and take in some of that fine Scotland too!! :O)

Now when did I say that I hadn't been to Scotland? Paisley was never the same after my visit :-)

Paisley! Wow, I lived there for a time when I was a nip of a student! :0)

Then it may have been me that was the bad influence on you :-)

Hehe, you never know!

Never been to Ireland but I made some friends online and it's always fun to chat with them. They have got a very good sense of humor.

Good to see @stan in the photos.

Gorgeous lady:

Nice to see this post from you @onceuponatime.

Not read it so far. Will definitely check it as I've resteemed it. Thanks for sharing @onceuponatime.

All photos are such wonderful and show how beautiful Ireland is!
And old photos are great, your grandmother was gorgeous in her childhood and youth!

Must be where I got it from LoL

Please feed me more of these pictures.
I'm trying to imagine the calm, warmth and serenity of those places, surely a place to visit or even live.

Feed you more pictures? When you didn't upvote these ones? LoL

I never been Ireland yet. But I see there through your photography. It was smart, elegant, glorious and perfect. Glad to see your memorable images.

I hope that you do get a chance to visit some day!

Ireland looks so beautiful! My aunt works there.. Maybe I should visit her :)

Maybe you should!

Aw. I love those old photographs @onceuponatime. They're gorgeous.

it's definitely a good plan to make sure you have extra time for sight seeing next time you're in Ireland. It's stunning.

i can't wait to go back. 😁

And I'm sure that Ireland can't wait for you to come back too!

From the pictures Ireland looks like a fun place to visit. It will definitely be on my bucket list of places to visit. 😄

Bucket lists are fun!

Great photos. Ireland is definitely on my bucket list!

What else is on there?

Ireland looks really beautiful and amazing definitely a must visit place for sure :)

You must visit :-)

I enjoyed looking at your photos from Ireland.

Those old family photos are really great too.

I'm glad that you got a little enjoyment.

Beautiful Ireland! The old photos of your grandmother and her family are impressive! They are still in very good condition with very warm and classic feel them. I no longer have any of my old family photos!

Nice meeting you have there with lots of wine!
Ireland is the land of rigs and fairies, legendary creatures and dragons.

Dragons??? Dragons!!!!!

https://www.fantasy-ireland.com/Celtic-dragons.html

I think the dragons in Wales were fiercely persecuted by the crazy knights for their valour. So, some dragons escaped to Ireland for a quiet life of retirement!

Some had fallen in love with the fairies and nimphs. With the help of magic potion, these dragons transformed themselves into other creatures for a more peaceful life of love and families!

Cheers.

Highly accept tour recommendation of Ireland. Outstanding scenery include environment there and delicious looks foods and nice wine here. See you more with Ireland @onceuponatime.

OK.

Thanks for the amazing story. I especially liked the architecture of Ireland, or rather the castle, the photo of which you put in the story. It was very interesting.

Спасибо за удивительный рассказ. Особенно понравилась архитектура Ирландии, вернее того замка, фото которого Вы поместили в рассказ. Было очень интересно.

Спасибо за добрый комментарий!

"Your grandma was so so beautiful"

Professional photography you are a wonderful photographer

I think that you might be a flatterer LoL

would you like to stay permanently there?
Loutraki or Dublin ??? :))))

Too cloudy and rainy for me to stay permanently in Ireland I think. But visits, oh my, yes.

I absolutely agree with you... :))))))

I want to go to there!

Just a great shot .
Mind blowing ..
