Kilkenny Castle, Kilkenny, Ireland

[crimbfighter]

Shot Sept. 19th during our trip through Ireland. Kilkenny Castle is the most complete restored castle in all of Ireland and contains replacement furniture, carpet, and wallpaper that exactly matches what was originally there. Since I'm sure somebody will ask about the color version, I included a link to it below...

like it...a lot! EXCEPT that beer joint on the left absolutely destroys the composition.

It's not a beer joint, he's in Ireland. Ale is served in Irish hospitals as medicinal. That's an urgent care center.

I like the B&W version best. I bet you have many nice photos from your trip and hope you share.

Thanks! And i agree about that terrace.. In hindsight while I was editing I was wishing I had taken a few steps to the right to eliminate that. Oh well, I can only perseverate on it for so long!

Haha, how true.. I was in fact already down a few of those medicinal ales when I took the photo, which probably wasn't a great idea since I had forgotten my tripod at the hotel so I was balancing the camera on the edge of the bridge where I was standing..

Thanks! I have 4500 photos from the trip, so I'm sure there are more to come as I work through them.
