Return here for more
It struck me the other day that this is Leap Year... so
I rewatched the film Leap Year this weekend and I actually cried because there were so many things I saw last year in Ireland that were referred to in the film..
There was one shot where the couple was driving along narrow stone wall lined roads but more than that.. the yellow gorse was growing prolifically... just like in this ad for the film.
We saw gorse everywhere in mid April
So I found some gorse like flowers in my stash and created a bit of Blarney in my living room
Another favorite scene of the film was filmed here over the arched bridge of Stephen's Green in Dublin....We walked a few extra kilometers to stand there, as well... there were so many people there I waited until we got past the bridge to take this shot of hubs!
I wish I could find the still of those magnificent swans flying up off of the pond.. Im sure you remember from the film (below is from images)
but we did see the swans as we stood on the bridge
Also, Im pretty sure that the scene where the thugs steal Louie Vitton.. the couple was walking into this area
and we were just right there... almost.. our bus wouldnt make the trip, we were here at Moriarity's and you can see the gap oin the background
I bought the painting there to bring home with me..
this area is right near Killarney which would be on the way from Dingle to Dublin!
And, of course, the end of the film ... so romantic.... Im sure shot on the Dingle Peninsula
but we saw this in Northern Ireland..
The cliffs Of Moher!
