"Iron Fence of St. Nicholas" ~ Built in the 1300s, the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas is an Anglican church located in the heart of Ireland's Galway. It's the largest medieval parish church in Ireland that has been in continuous use as a place of worship.
"Ashford Gate" ~ During a stroll along the lakeside of the medieval curtain wall at Ashford Castle in County Mayo, Ireland, I came upon this wonderful wrought iron gate.
"Lismore Castle" ~ Lismore Castle in County Waterford, Ireland, as viewed from the bridge over the River Blackwater. The castle was built in 1185 for Prince John of England while Ireland was under the rule of his father King Henry II. However, the current appearance of the castle is primarily due to significant architectural renovations in the mid-1800s under the watch of the 6th Duke of Devonshire.
"Clogher Cove" ~ Sybil Head and the triple peaks known as the Three Sisters appear beyond the cove at An Drum, as viewed from near Clogher Head.
"The Watch Tower" ~ A small watch tower marks the outside corner of the inner bawn of Aughnanure Castle in County Galway, Ireland. Remnants of the outer wall still stand in the distance, while a small portion of the castle frames the right side of this photograph. Built around 1500, the castle is intact, with its six stories still standing prominently on the banks of the Drimneen River. The watch tower is about 15' (5m) in diameter.
