What a superb job of framing this is, the graves so lonely yet large by these
romantic ruins, looks like you left the beaten path to get this great photo. I
could look at Ireland photos forever !

this reminds me of the church at whitby if you ever go, all the stones are so old the rain has eaten in to the stones.

@Ainsley: thanks for bringing up the comparison with whitby! i've been there, and you're right! amazing what wind and rain can do over the years ...

A beautiful churchyard and ruins. The B&W is very effective here.
