Castles, Abbeys, Oratorys and Graveyards | Ireland 2010

Well this is the last of three posts about Ireland. If you haven’t seen the others. The first post was about Mary and Steve’s gorgeous wedding. The second post was a conglomeration of personal vacation photos, some taken my me others by Susan and the rest by Katelyn, those can be seen here: Ireland We spent one full day crisscrossing throughout West Central Ireland, Co Kerry, in the area known as the Burren. In a very ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ fashion we climbed stone fences, crossed cow pastures in our hunt for lost castles of Ireland. What a blast we had and we brought back some interesting finds. Here is but a sampling of what we found.

In the caption of each photo will be designated with the initials of the person who took the photo.  SR-Susan Romine, KT-Katelyn, MR-Mark.

Sandra - Lovely photos, looked like you got the best of the Irish ‘summer’ this year! Next time try and make it up the west coast to Sligo, plenty of beautiful ruins here to photograph :)

Mark Romine - Sandra:

We will definitely have to try and do that the next time we are there. So much to see in Ireland just not enough time.
