Part II: Located in County Roscommon, Ireland, Strokestown Manor is also the location of the National Famine Museum in Ireland. Beautiful grounds and lots of history.

Inside Klyemore Cathedral

Different color Connemara Marble was used for these small columns inside the Cathedral. Using the local marble was an amazing idea and design feature, I think.

Cathedral at Kylemore Abbey

A short walk from the large Kylemore Abbey is the Gothic cathedral. Hopefully you get a sense of just how remarkable the place is considering the remoteness of the location and the terrain.

The Abbey and the Walled Garden. The Victorian Gardens are in the process of being restored. All of the Sisters at the Abbey, a total of 5 or 6 still working at the Abbey doing baking for the gift shop cafe and the balance are retired and living out their lives in this spectacular setting. Really an amazing place! This huge Abbey stands alone in an area nearly unoccupied.

Was in the process of moving some image files off of the MacBook and into storage on a portable hard drive and noticed these two images so I reworked them a little and, voila! Location is: Red Hook, Brooklyn, one of my favorite places to walk around and shoot in NYC. Two weeks prior to Hurricane Sandy this is what I saw.

Stained Glass Window

Stained glass window in Galway, Ireland. The multiple spirals, I believe, are considered ‘sacred geometry’ and have been used as symbols for millennia.

Picking up where I left off before traveling. Took over 1,000 images while in Ireland so it might take a while to sort through them.

Scrapyard Closed

There are quite a few metal scrapyards along the Duwamish River here in Seattle. This one, adjacent to the 8th St. Park ( actually a micro-park) closed recently. Now they have the daunting task of cleaning up the grounds.
