Fierystudios Vögelein Clockwork Game

Must be the Sidhe...

Paul and I have been watching our way through all three seasons of Father Ted, and it's predictably thrown me into a fit of nostalgia for the trip I took to Ireland in the mid-1990's. So I went to Google Maps, and found the boat that appears in the opening credits, and I thought, well heck, Inis Oírr is just a click away from Sligo, so I'll see what the terrain looks like from the satellites.

Turns out that all the major landmarks in Sligo (Carrowmore, Carrowkeel, Knocknarea, Ben Bulben, Glen Alt) are all invisible to Google Maps. This is as close as you can get to Maeve's Cairn. Seriously, you can get a closer look at Mount Weather than you can at Glen Alt.

Weird. Must be the Sidhe hexing the satellites.
