A wonderfully moody set, just as I like to imagine the place. Beautifully photographed.
"Under bare Ben Bulben's head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid,
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago; a church stands near,
By the road an ancient Cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase,
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by!"
W.B Yeats

Absolutely! I really like these - so evocative of the wildness of the place. I've been there a few times, but never in this kind of mist that you have used so well to create atmosphere.wonderfully moody
I'm minded now to post a few that I took last time we were in the area, just to show a different perspective, but they're nothing like yours! Well taken and thanks for sharing them!
