Back to Roskilde

It was a day of mixed weather here today. Brilliant sunshine one minute…driving rain the next. Intending to make a quick trip to the National Museum, I popped to the website to see what the hours were today and discovered that the Sea Stallion, the largest replica viking longhsip in the world, was leaving Ireland today on a sea voyage back to Denmark. Cost cool. So I texted Matt and we headed for the Customs House Quay. Magnificent party going on as we got there, sunny and didn’t the sky just cloud and open up within minute or two. A small drop or two and then a little more moisture and then driving winds and torrential downpour. I tried to snap what I could and hold onto my umbrella. Matt dashed for cover and I saw that they decided that this was a good time for the Sea Stallion to make its escape. So down came the oars and it pulled away from the pier. Irish music blaring, rain screaming down and the wind a howling. Quite a scene. I didn’t even try to get the camera out, relying just on the cameraphone. So I include the video for all its worth. Note the tree when its in frame. It was really blowing and raining. Neat occassion though and glad we caught it for the few moments.
