Entering Holy Ground

by irishvisions

Story
In this image of the holy grounds of Glendalough, the sun is setting. The cemetery and abbey ruins are suffused with the sun’s waning rays. Helen O’Malley was conscious of using natural light. She would often wait to photograph a subject at a later time if the sun would then provide better illumination.

Convergence/Divergence

Story
Glendalough is one of Ireland’s most revered religious sites. St. Kevin founded a monastery here in the sixth century. It features a ninth century round tower built to protect the monks from invading Vikings. This image captures the juncture of two vastly different sets of steps.
