It's The Wonderland Link-Up time once again, Sunday's always seem to roll by so quickly these days don't they? I hope that lots of you will link up your beautiful, awe-inspiring pictures and remember, these can be of anything - your children, nature, a beautiful spot in your home, animals, etc... the possibilities for beauty are endless.
The idea of The Wonderland Link-Up came from comments I received from
people on some of my photography posts saying that my captures looked
like they were from another world, a fairyland of sorts. So, as a huge
Alice in Wonderland fan I thought - "why can't there be wonderlands here
on Earth?"
The point of The Wonderland Link-Up is to share any pictures you took
during the week which made you stop and think "wow!". They could be
photos of places and moments that were super magical to you and which
seemed like they could be from another, perfect or weird and wonderful
world. So please do share the magic in your photography or the world
around you with us all.
The Wonderland Link-Up will take place every Sunday and shall run until
Wednesday for entries. I shall be commenting on the entries myself over
the coming days and look forward to seeing some beautiful images that
inspired you and made you feel a bit awe-struck for awhile after you
captured them. Thank you so much to Channon from Sunshine By Channon and Merlinda from Glimmer of Hope for linking up in the last link-up.
My picture was week five was taken yesterday when my boys and I visited the beautiful town of Ardmore, Co. Waterford. Our first stop was to look at this round tower, thought to have been founded by St. Declan in the first century, but it's most likely from the 12th century. It was amazing to look at, towering high up into the bright blue sky and overlooking the beautiful bay. As you can see the door is four metres up, I have no idea how monks got into it but it was used to protect valuables and the monks from enemy attack. I love how this picture turned out and as it was such a bright, clear day you can even spot the moon in the picture if you look very closely.
I am also linking this photo up to OneDad3Girls #MySundayPhoto
Thank you for taking part and have a lovely week, hopefully full of magic, joy and wonder...
Gorgeous photo, when I see towers like that I always wonder about who built them/used them etc x
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen! I think it was generally monks who sought refuge there from the vikings and other invaders. The towers could hold 40 men at a time plus valuables and the door was so high up that nobody could get in!
