I’m over in San Francisco for three days trying to pull together three or four meetings which will have some impact in the Northern Ireland economy. Some damage has been dealt with the resumption of violence in Northern Ireland. The night before I left two soldiers were shot and four people injured up in Antrim and last night a policeman was shot dead in Lurgan.
That’ll be fun to return to. It’s certainly ruined some plans here as attention in the higher echelons of power are dedicated to putting a face on this events – but the real issue here is whether this will be a campaign or opportunism? Think of the families already affected and the effects still to come.
Anyway, posting some images taken from the plane on my flight over. I don’t want to think about the doom and gloom.
These pics are
1. Route
2. Reykjavik
3. Glaciers and Mountains in Greenland
4. Rift in California.
5. Getting really close to the water.
The first time I landed at SFO I was convinced the plane was ditching in the Bay! It’s disconcerting how low it gets over the water on the final approach.
