Yippeeeeeeee! I get to be the first one to comment! I feel faint!

SSSKiki, There are so many things I love about this image. First of all when do we ever see cattle in the graveyard!? (And in Killarney, Ireland no less?!) NEVER!!!

I love how relaxed they look too like this is a hang out of theirs. And the one in the front looking at you makes this a classic!

Wonderful find and job!

-SSSLala :D

P.S. Is this an ancient church or is it a castle?

Hi Sister!! What a thrill to have you here.

Thank you so much for liking this and for your sweet and supportive comments.

This is an old monastery and one of the greatest I've ever seen. #10219195

This is SOOO cool, Kiki!
Cattle and castle-like structures ~ it blows the mind, really. Throw in the cemetery, and you have one unique and fascinating image! Top-of-the-line work! #10219366

This scene certainly has a mixture of things to keep you occupied, cattle relaxing, a cemetery & a monastery. What a great find=^..^= #10289227
