Zusammenfassung

From the delights of Woodstown in Waterford and wasp waisted women to ancient artifacts and abodes in Sligo! This fine celtic cross appears to have been beautifully decorated, and is positioned with a tower in the background. Some great vertical lines in the shot. Is it still standing and in that location?..Even though this image may have been mirrored in the scanning/digitising process, BeachcomberAustralia ( /photos/beachcomberaustralia/ ) and Rory_Sherlock ( /photos/139877639@N08/ ) quickly and concurrently identified this as .Drumcliffe, County Sligo ( https://www.google.com/maps/@54.3260418,-8.4944473,3a,15y,275.05h,92.55t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipMo9fJriG0ocR313xgtlTc1UB9ReiUYsulY88NR!2e10!3e11!6shttps://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipMo9fJriG0ocR313xgtlTc1UB9ReiUYsulY88NR=w203-h100-k-no-pi0-ya7.3466744-ro-0-fo100!7i13312!8i6656 ) .
