Kuno our Swiss friend has returned to his newspaper and Colin took him for a trip on the Shannon. Kuno is also into making films and was casting an eye along the river.
He has a website at www.filmfabrik.tv
Some years ago he was in Shannonbridge when they were building a new 100 metre chimney for the power plant and he took some very interesting photographs showing the Fortification, Bridge, village and shots of the River Shannon and River Suck and callows and bogland in counties Galway Roscommon and Offaly.
Boating and fishermen and even local houses look different from on high.
Joe Burke tells me that when the new Dalton Center is opened near the power plant in 2005 they are planning to use that same chimney as a viewing point with a see through lift bringing visitors to a viewing platform on top. Make sure and bring your camera.
