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.

A few more images from Kylemore Abbey in Connemara, Ireland.
Kylemore Abbey, Connemara, County Galway, Ireland
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.
Department of Finance
In Dublin, the Department of Finance building.
Hydrangea
Hydrangea spotted in Dublin.
Dublin Canals
There are two canals that run through Dublin, the Royal and the 
Grand. Both canals have a series of locks due to the topography.
Dublin Graffiti
The first afternoon we were in Dublin we discovered this lane with both graffiti and old stone walls. The lane got a little sketchy towards the end where it meets the canal. Probably not a place I would venture after the dark, but it was interesting that this was my first view of Dublin.
Dublin Bits and Bobs
Walking around the Ballsbridge section of Dublin we ran across an Irish mailbox ( green, of course) and this odd, metal trash bin where people can deposit their old phones.
South Park Bridge
The two crews rowing were the first ones to pass under the new South Park Bridge. The last photo is looking south where the old Sheet Metal Shop of Plant II, Boeing, was located. During the bridge construction Boeing demolished the long vacated building (whose footprint ran right up the the waters edge, with no set back or buffer zone) and is now cleaning and refurbishing this section of shoreline of the Duwamish River. Pretty amazing transition. The Sheet Metal Shop moved to the city of Auburn, WA. in the mid-80’s-known as the 17-45 building. I actually worked in the 17-45 building for a year, 1999, before being moved to the Everett Plant 67 miles north, where I spent the last two years of my working career with the company. Seems like a lifetime ago.
Moss and Falls
