Favourite Facebook photos of Athlone
SOME weeks ago now in the midst of the feel-good summer weather Athlone was then basking in (we hope it will make a return shortly), on our Westmeath Independent Facebook page we asked for some views and vistas that capture the town and surrounding areas in all its glory.
In the gallery below are some of the images that were sent in to us by some very talented amateur photographers right around the Athlone region.
If you have captured local wildlife or an unusual view of Athlone people or places, send on the results and we’ll share it with the wider public for everyone to enjoy! Send your pictures via the Westmeath Independent Facebook (www.facebook.com/westmeathindependent page or by email to deirdre.verney@westmeathindependent.ie
