"Clonmacnoise Castle" situated just to the West of the more famous Clonmacnoise Monastic site on a mound close to the river Shannon, are these intriguing remains of a castle built by the Chief Governor of Ireland in 1214. It was destroyed as early as 1300. The ruins balance precariously on the edge of the hill, looking as though they fell out of the sky and lodged themselves there.
This is a favorite photo of mine, the simple two colours, shapes and tones, the different light sources (real and artificial) hitting it through out the day and night the picture changes in intensity. Captured on a crisp January afternoon in 2010 at the perfact angle to the sun resulting in the wonderful deep colours.
