Be You Angels?: June 2005

this is why kevin chose to roost here

glendalough...the lake in the glen; this stream fills that lake

man's grave hidden by nature

another gate to walk through

many of my irish ancestors rest here undisturbed

an ancient doorway, think of all the people who walked through it at one point in history

an old cross memorializing a grave of a monk or priest

glendalough

ok, so these pictures here(the next couple) are from a place called glendalough, an old monastary and graveyard from several centuries ago by a man named kevin who was a holy man of sorts. it is an amazing place, really beautiful and amazing.

a splash of colour in a black and white world

this is matt, who is looking away at a row of hedges across the road

this is an amazing place, built before the pyramids by my ancestor celts. you see, on the winter solstice at ten after eight or so, sunlight shines through a small hole, and exactly filles an alter room deep inside this monument. the waiting list to get into this place is ten years; let that speak to you of its greatness

who is this? he bears a resemblance to the man at tara...but all i know is that he is a holy man, most likely a saint

another ruin picture, i wish i could give an explanation for these doorways, but i can't; i have a feeling that it used to hold statues

i had to climb an ancient set of stairs and walk out on a wall that should have fallen down decades ago to get this photo-op, please don't comment on the quality
