An old church that is located in Tourmakeady in Co. Mayo, in the West of Ireland. Its old architecture fascinated me, how it’s standing and not in bad condition for its age.

I couldn’t find a date carved into the beautiful stone work, but the grave of Thomas Baron Plunkett Lord Bishop (symbolised by a beautiful Celtic Cross) who dies 19th October 1868 was there, so I can’t even guess how long this beautiful church is standing before this.

An old castle that I came across in Co. Clare in the west of Ireland.  Not sure of the name of it but thought it made a good photograph subject 🙂

Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s top Visitor attractions and are a designated UNESCO Geo Park. The Cliffs are 214m high at the highest point and range for 8 kilometres over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of County Clare. O’Brien’s Tower stands proudly on a headland of the majestic Cliffs. From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South. The Cliffs of Moher take their name from a ruined promontory fort “Mothar” which was demolished during the Napoleonic wars to make room for a signal tower.

The Cliffs of Moher are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) for Birds under the EU Birds Directive in 1986 and as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988. Included within the designated site are the cliffs, the cliff-top maritime grassland and heath, and a 200 metre zone of open water, directly in front of the cliffs to protect part of the birds’ feeding area.
