"Long shot sea, hills in background, 2 Constables and 2 others at steps or plinth foreground, church with spire…" = ?

  The hills look a bit like the Mournes or possibly the Cooley Mountains so that could put this anywhere between Omeath and Clogherhead (but probably closer to Omeath given how high the hills look). But...the hills also remind me of the profile of the 12 Bens in Connemara so I could be way off!

• derangedlemur said:

  Hooray! A "where is this?" photo. I was just about to request one because I'm stuck at home all week after being run over at the weekend.

• derangedlemur said:

  I think the hills are a bit pointy for Louth/Down. I was thinking more West Cork.Let's see what streetview has to say on the matter.

• derangedlemur said:

  After a quick look on streetview it could be the Mournes or West Cork. Needs more investigation.

  Muckross Abbey. See also other photos from the Mason, Eblana and Lawrence collections.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Flickr is sometimes amazing! The French/Lawrence photo cropped via The History of Photography Archive Does this image need flipping - see the background tree?

• Sharon Corbet said:

  beachcomber australia I think you're right and it should be flipped - the windows (upper pointed arches) are on the right-hand wall, rather than the left - see this google photosphere. Also, the creatures on the urn are facing the wrong way if you look in Megazoom.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Sharon Corbet And there are two French/Lawrence photos. This Mason one is a 'round' crop of the NLI's catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000340186 . The The History of Photography Archive version was taken very slightly to the left at the same time (see the relative position of the font/altar to the window tracery, and the similar vegetation). It's complicated!

• beachcomber australia said:

  Aha! It's not a font or an altar but an 1818(?) tomb. See the difficult-to-read inscription on the google photosphere.
