Statues at Sunset
Some of the statues that decorate the entrances to St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork. Taken while we waited for the Cathedral to open so we could hear beautiful classical music played that evening by London Concertante.
The Round Tower in Ardmore
The round tower in the cemetery in Ardmore is really impressive, standing out on the hillside overlooking the town. The tower was built in the 12th century but it has been kept in great condition. Lots more to learn about it on this page.
