Ballintubber Abbey
'Ballintubber's history goes back to pre-Christian times, people came from the east through Ballintubber on their way to the holy mountain on the west coast - now called Croagh Patrick.

When St Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland in c.441AD, he founded a church at Ballintubber. The present Abbey was founded in 1216 by King Cathal O'Conor.

It is the only church in Ireland still in daily use that was founded by an Irish king.'

Awesome! The neat angles and composition create a bizarre and confusing first impact, and somhow not in a bad way. I love the colors, too.

What a very interesting and effective way to photograph a beautiful stained glass window! A large part of the impact of this window is the effect of its light inside the lovely mitred window surround. By tilting the image near enough to 45 degrees, you have not only managed to more easily fit it all in, but have also made it possible for the viewer to better appreciate the window in the context of its surrounding structure. Very clever, thoughtful photography. 9.
