    It is fantabulous. This is the WEST face - full details of the carvings here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muiredach's_High_Cross#West-face . It is fascinating and shocking to see how much has eroded in 150 years with the wikipedia hi-res photo - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Muiredach%27s...

    beachcomber australia That's what struck me on the relief of the carving. Think of all the weathering by wind and rain and frost and pollution since this photo was taken 150-ish years ago...

    Although it was around eight hundred years old when the photo was taken in the 1860s the cross still looked comparatively new. Just goes to show the pollution that has occurred over the past hundred plus years. Industrial revolution and all that.

    Swordscookie I should have my librarian's toggles ripped off, but never read any Brogeen stories. Did you read all of these by Patricia Lynch: Brogeen of the Stepping Stones (1947) Brogeen Follows the Magic Tune (1952) Brogeen and the Green Shoes (1953) Brogeen and the Bronze Lizard (1954) Brogeen and the Princess of Sheen (1955) Brogeen and the Lost Castle (1956) Brogeen and the Black Enchanter (1958) The Stone House at Kilgobbin: a Brogeen Story (1959) Brogeen and the Little Wind (1962) Brogeen and the Red Fez (1963) The Lost Fisherman of Carrigmor: a Brogeen Story (1960) Guests at the Beech Tree: a Brogeen story (1964)

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Every single one of them and if the Library didn't have them I saved the pocket money, depriving myself of going to the pictures until I could buy them! Just realised that I went down to O'Mahony's books shop that featured recently in your Limerick shots to buy them. One of my sisters and later my niece worked there and they had (and still have) a fantastic stock of books.

    TJ Not likely, that was captured by a Nikon.
