Photographer’s Note
One of the older ones, not the real old, those i am
just scanning and transferring to my computer...*g*
A view of the great Carraig Phadraig/Rock of Cashel at
not-so-nice weather, but still very impressive.
From up there you can enjoy for example this view.
*********************
The Rock of Cashel (Carraig Phadraig), also
known as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick's Rock,
is a historic site in Ireland's province of Munster,
located at Cashel, County Tipperary. The Rock of
Cashel served as the traditional seat of the Kings of
Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman
invasion, though few remnants if any of the early
structures survive. The majority of buildings on the
current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries.
Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of
the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century
A.D. The buildings which crown the Rock of Cashel
present a mass and outline of great complexity,
rivalling other sites in western Europe. The complex
has a character of its own, unique and native, and is
one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art
and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in
Europe. According to local lore, the Rock of Cashel
originated from Devil's Bit, a mountain 30 km north of
Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave,
resulting in the Rock to land in Cashel.

Thor, this is a great capture, the gray sky behind the castle works very well and the saturated green makes it snap. Someone is sure to ask why the subject is so centered but I don't think that is really an issue here. Fine work.

Hallo Thorsten. Wenn ich mir das Photo ohne alle Hinweise und Daten betrachte, würde ich auch auf Irland oder Schottland tippen. Die Ruine sieht prächtig aus, - richtig geeignet für eine Story. Im Bild dominiert die Farbe Grün. Die Komposition ist vorbildlich. Sehr schön. Viele Grüße, wolfgang.

Thorsten,
This is a nicely composed shot of this castle in ruin. The gray sky helps set the mood for the scene. I like the inclusion of the green foreground which provide nice contrast for the ruins and sky. The lighting and colors are fine with nice sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Thorsten,
Une superbe composition, les prés verts donnent une touche de couleur bienvenue dans cette grisaille ambiante.
Bonne soirée

Hallo Thorsten,
ein Bild wie aus einem Märchen- oder Fantasyfilm... Wie Wolfgang schon sagte, das kann nur Irland oder Schottland sein, das sieht man schon auf dem Thumbnail. Trotz (oder gerade wegen) des grauen Himmels eine sehr stimmungsvolle Aufnahme.
Viele Grüße
Claudia

Hi Thorsten,
The rainy sky gave a mystical atmosphere to this old castle. Fine composition with good colours and sharpness. I also like this panoramic view. Well done!
Best regards,
Darek
