No.4 : Cockerel announcing morning

Some music from the Dubliners to get your toes tapping!




Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae
Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae
Tá an mhuc ag a' ndoras
A d'iarraidh é oscailt
Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae

Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae
Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae
Tá 'n chearc is a hál
Ina gcodladh go sámh
Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae

Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae
Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae
Tá bó na leath - adhairce
'Tál bhainne do'n teaghlach
Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae

Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae
Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae
Tá an ghealach 'na lui
Is an ghrian ag éirí
Tá 'n coileach a' fógairt an lae


When the cock crows it is day
When the cock crows it is day
The pig is at the door
Requesting you to open it
When the cock crows it is day

When the cock crows it is day
When the cock crows it is day
The hen and her chickens are
Sleeping pleasantly.
When the cock crows it is day

When the cock crows it is day
When the cock crows it is day
The one horned cow is providing
Milk for the family.
When the cock crows it is day

When the cock crows it is day
When the cock crows it is day
The moon is setting
The sun is rising.
When the cock crows it is day.

Cracking shot.

The music is nicely chosen and I do like it, but I think that what is important here is your photos and to comment it, if one likes.
I like it, because it’s a well framed detail, sharply taken. The subject is cleverly put in the lower left corner, leaving a great free place to the sky, in this case the empty space works very well, the picture has a feeling of freshness.

Well the Dubliners certainly got my toes tapping but that cockerel won't dance so readily!

A great sculpture of a cockerel, very well captured,
and a great match.

Yes, great guys! Saw them many many years ago. That concert there was always one backstage for tea, as they said. But it wasn´t tea.
