My new best friend
Salisbury, how I miss thee
Salisbury Cathedral. Still my favorite. Even after seeing Notre Dame, Paris. :O. it's true
Would you look at that. Salisbury
One of my reasons for liking this cathedral so much is because it was built in a single Architectural style. Gothic. you can see here, how in the Early Gothic stage they had perfected the pointed arch
Ominous ah. ah
Grisailles stain glass. While usually geometric in form, here presents us with a barrage of Christian symbology
Prime example of Grisaille stain glass
Who that man in a black sedan... ahem. I mean, standing in front of Salisbury Cathedral, Salisbury

Look at those clouds!
If you look very carefully you can see the Salisbury Cathedral off in the distance
My journey to Stonehenge

Galway. What a wonderful place. Really. I know the picture is dreary, but it's such a cool place
What an adventure! (I walked on a bike path to get there)
Galway again
Inish Mor. What an incredible Island
It definitely was not t-shirt weather. For the sake of looking cool, I took my jacket off. It's stashed behind the wall in the right foreground of the picture
Near the lookout tower, highest point on Inishmore
My camera got some water droplets in its lens for the sake of this picture

I'm standing waaaay out there on that one rock

This is the Ireland I came to sea... haha. oh goodness
Picture from the Celtic fortress dating back to 2000 bC!
I love all the angles and lines in this picture, particularly the light coming through the stone wall in the distance. and oh! the ocean!
Lots of rocks
Arch of wonder!
I really wonder how that bottom layer of rock, jutting out into the ocean managed to survive for so long.
No photoshop here, that's all a wonder yes!
The puffing holes on Inishmore
into the pit of AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! maybe he was dictating

Killarney! oh Killarney how I miss thee!
The next few shots, I guarantee are going to be the most wonderful nature shots you've ever seen. ever. especially because I took them
They're all in Killarney national forest. What a beautiful place
There can be no underemphasis of the need to preserve wilderness
Not while places like this might disappear some day.
My favorite shot in the forest
The bike shop guy said this was the most beautiful view in all of Ireland. I mostly agreed with him
He didn't mention the graveyard. Turns out Jack and I didn't bike far enough at first to get to the most beautiful view in Ireland. But it looks just like this.
Muckross House. So much more than a house.
Frollocing
Climbing Torc Mountain. it was more of a rainforest with cliffs. and doom
