Looking Up (Heading In)
As seen from the beautiful parking lot.
The Trail
Not to be mistaken for the path.
The Path
And some Peruvians.
A Little Waterfall!
Why are people such suckers for moving water? Someone get me a kitten calendar.
The Lake
I have no idea which is upper/lower--so don't ask!
Lake With Bonus Feature
(Note the pole.)
The Lake Through Plants
See it like the chipmunks do.
...And Through Trees.
...or the monkeys!
Tower + Headstones from a Distance
Taken atop a large dirt mound.
Tower + Cemetery
Same, but closer.
The Monastic City
I had to wait forever for the stream of old people to get out. Glendalough = Atlantic City?
And from Further Away...
If this looks somewhat familiar, it's because it's where the wedding scenes were shot for Braveheart.
A Building...
...whose name I've forgotten.
Looking Inside the Cathedral
I'm sure I could have done better, but unfortunately, when the above mentioned old people moved on, it was into the cathedral.
Looking Through the Cathedral Window
Cathedral + Tower (4-ever)
The Tower as Seen from the Bridge
Coming around to the Visitors' Centre.
The Tower and the Stream
Similar, but the water looks prettier.
Glendalough Hotel
Nothing terribly special, but I had time to kill.
Wicklow Gap
I wish my camera would really capture the grade of this stuff...
The Gap w/ Pines
Another picture of Wicklow Gap.
And Off to the Right...
This is what I saw when I turned right.
Kilkenny Castle Courtyard
How is it that you can't walk on the grass on university campuses, but you can on castle grounds? Does untrampled grass make you smarter?
Kilkenny Castle Towers
And a "Toilets" sign, which now only reads "oilets".
The Back of Kilkenny Castle
This side faces the main drag.
Closer
Where I stood when the downpour started.
Another Castle Shot
Yay castle!
The Castle Park
A bajillion times more grass than Dublin Castle.
Kilkenny Castle Garden
Flowers, fountain, grass, castle...the whole shebang!
Kilkenny Castle Fountain
Well, not really. Actually very similar to above, but taken much closer to the fountain.
Kilkenny Courthouse
Also called Grace's Castle.
Kilkenny Custom House, Among Other Things...
Used to be every public administration building.
Man Singing in Arch
I took this because this guy was actually singing and playing music, where in Dublin, people buy cheap accordions, sit with a chage cup, and literally just make noise and hope no one notices that they're not really doing anything. Seriously.
A Kilkenny Street
Looking down a back road.
Kilkenny Town
Technically a town, anyway, but called a city because of its historical significance.
