The ghostly guard still patrolling in Cork City Gaol appeared in a corridor after I sensed him, and I snapped 3 photos… he appeared only in the last one!

Located on the beautiful rugged Slieve League peninsula, Glencolumbkille has a history in stone going back over 5,000 years. The Turas (pilgrimage/journey) dates back to the early Christian period and takes place each year on the 9th of June. There are 15 stations on the Turas and some of these stations are pre-christian sites. This standing stone is station 9 on the pilgrimage route. It is a holed pillar stone decorated on the north-west face. There are three circular motifs, connected by an incised gutter. The circle at the top is the width of the stone and inside it is an equal armed geometric cross. The perforation is in the center of the cross. Traditionally, engaged couples would stand one either side of the stone and entwine their fingers through the hole. This was a symbol of their engagement and the ceremony would be watched by a large gathering of people (Aonach). Here the pilgrim circles the cairn three times whilst praying. They would then put their back to the 6-foot-tall pillar stone and renounce the world, the flesh and the devil.
The approximately 1.85 m tall schist pillar stone is beautifully decorated on both sides. The eastern side bares rectilinear patterns while the western side patterns are slightly more freeform. At the base of the pillar stone are the remains of a Leacht, a dry stone altar. The prominence of this outcrop suggests it may have been a sacred place to pagans. It was probably Christianised with the addition of this pillar stone.

Dolmen tomb (ring of several rocks topped by a larger lintel rock) in a green field. In the background can be seen Ben Bulben Mountain. Carrowmore (Irish: An Cheathrú Mhór, 'the great quarter') is a large group of megalithic monuments on the Coolera Peninsula to the west of Sligo, Ireland. They were built in the 4th millennium BC, during the Neolithic (New Stone Age). There are thirty surviving tombs, making Carrowmore one of the largest clusters of megalithic tombs in Ireland, and one of the 'big four' along with Carrowkeel, Loughcrew and Brú na Bóinne. Carrowmore is the heart of an ancient ritual landscape which is dominated by the mountain of Knocknarea to the west. It is a protected National Monument. It is believed that the Carrowmore monuments were built by a colony of very early farmers who arrived in Ireland, most likely from the Carnac region in west France, arriving here by about 4150 BC.
The Kissing Stone is a classic "tertre", an early open air passage grave. A complete circle of thirty-two large boulders, measuring thirteen meters in diameter surrounds platform supporting the monument. The platform here is scarped or scraped into the side of the hill. The inner circle of smaller stones eight and a half meters in diameter, indicates that the monument was free-standing, and was never covered with a cairn. The circle containing a raised earthen platform or tertre within the boulder ring is a common design feature consistantly used in the construction of the Carrowmore monuments. The impressively graceful capstone is huge, and balances effortlessly upon the points of three upright chamber stones. The five sided chamber is a spacious area compared to most of the other Carrowmore dolmens. The entrance opens eastwards, aligned, according to Frank Prendergast, towards the equinox sunrise as it appears over Carns Hill four kilometers east of Carrowmore. All of the monuments at Carrowmore function individually as sundials, with the capstones projecting shadows onto the boulder circles and inner rings or circles.
Glencar Waterfall, a 50-foot high cascade of rushing water tumbling gracefully into a pool surrounded by lush greenery. Where the wandering water gushes From the hills above Glen-Car, In pools among the rushes That scarce could bathe a star, We seek for slumbering trout And whispering in their ears Give them unquiet dreams; Leaning softly out From ferns that drop their tears Over the young streams. Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. - from "The Stolen Child" by William Butler Yeats

Full Irish Breakfast: Fried eggs, "bacon" (aka in the US as Canadian bacon), sausage, tomatoes, potatoes, black and white "pudding", beans, juice, coffee or tea. I admit being taken aback by beans at breakfast. And, public service announcement: American and Irish understandings of what constitutes "pudding" diverge significantly. Everything, however, was delicious.

Tlachtga aka The Hill of Ward in County Meath. Her turning men to stone makes her the Irish Medusa in my book.
