That sixth picture make me think of Simon Marsden's work. And that waterfall is just spectacular.

I'm SO jealous that you can just take a ride and see this kind of stuff.

St. Kevin's Church looks like a real cheerful place. But, seriously the pictures are gorgeous. I particularly like the one with the yellow blossoms.

its definetly a cheery place, especially cause he was a notorious woman hater and when he found a woman in his cloister he threw her off the cliff into the lake :( bloody monks!
