I drove home today via Kilkenny today. I love driving through Kilkenny: there are castles and towers littered throughout the county. This tower looks 15th century, but it's just there, in a field of cows, protected only by a thin electrified wire. I did a bit of work on the image in post, but only what I'd intended when I took it.
For weeks I've been passing the suggestion of a castle just outside Limerick: the sight of a turret among the trees, and an overgrown road. Today I finally stopped and walked down to it, and it is without doubt the creepiest place I've ever been. There wasn't a good shot of the castle to be had, but these abandoned cars sort of summed up the atmosphere of the whole place: the overwhelming feeling that someone is watching you............
