St. Johnston
|
|
This is an updated St. Johnston page. Eventually, I'll integrate the
old stuff; in the meanwhile, you can view the old page here .
There is an extensive
official
St. Johnston and Carrigans website. You might notice that some of the
images take a while to download, but they are well worth the wait.
The new pictures were taken during May and June 2005. There have been a
lot of changes to St. Johnston in the last ten years. As someone put
it, from 1960 to 1995 there were hardly two houses built in St.
Johnston, now there are two new housing estates.

The pictures
There are three copies of the pictures: (i) the thumbnails -- visible;
(ii) medium sized (quarter of the original), click on thumbnail;
and (iii) large (half of original),
click on 'Large'. If anyone likes any of the pictures, I will usually
have one that is double the size of 'Large' and can supply it on
request (e.g. I can put it on the web for you to download, see email
address below).

Looking down on the River Foyle. St. Johnston hidden. In the vee in
the horizon, just beyond the river, you will see the outer bounds of
Derry's Waterside.Large.

South east. Strabane (hidden) on the very right. The shiny
surfaces are not water, but plastic used in the growing of maize.

Looking North (a bit east). The far away mountain just in from the
left is Raghtin (Urris Mts. Inishowen); in the middle just to the right
of the forestry, you may be able to detect Grianan of Aileach; beyond
that, the Scalp (Burnfoot-Muff); then Holywell Hill.Large.

Looking west from Galdonagh Crossroads. Errigal
around to Muckish
visible. New Letterkenny housing estates in the nearer distance. Note
the signposts turned so that none points in the right direction (a
national sport combined with County Council incompetence).
