There’s a statue of Christ and associated figures on the cross at the top of Slea Head in County Kerry. I’m not sure who erected them but they’re a prominent part of the headland there. More photos: 1, 2, 3.

Sanctuaire de Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré
Filed in Canon 40D, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, UrbanThe Saint Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica in Quebec is an imposing but beautiful building.
