A close-up, eye-level shot of the grey stone entrance tower of a large, historic castle. The tower features several crenellated turrets, arched doorways, and rectangular windows with stone mullions. The stone blocks show signs of age, with some moss and discoloration. To the right, the vibrant green leaves of a tree are visible, adding a touch of nature to the ancient structure. The sky above is bright and slightly overcast.

1 YEAR AGO FLASHBACK. A shot of Baltinglass Abbey that I took last year and shared a year ago to social media. It reminds me I must go back and visit there again soon!

#abbey #ireland #dusk #BaltinglassAbbey #AncientHistory #IrishHeritage #ExploreHistory #photography

A wide-angle landscape shot of a ruined stone abbey and graveyard at sunset. In the foreground, a gravel path leads past weathered headstones and low stone walls. To the right, a series of tall, pointed gothic arches stand roofless against a vibrant sky. A square bell tower rises in the centre. The sky transitions from a bright orange-gold on the left to a deep blue on the right, punctuated by soft pink clouds. The lighting is warm and ethereal, casting long shadows.

Log Cabin Museum

@logcabinmuseum.bsky.social

Last day of the #SaanichFair, as we celebrate #LabourDay!

DYK it’s been a holiday in #Canada since 1894?

That the movement started in the 1870s with a demonstration?

Which led to the enactment of the #TradeUnionsAct, confirming the legality of unions in Canada!

#LogCabinMuseum #ExploreHistory

Graphic has a large "torn paper" image in the centre, over which are imposed the phrase, "Happy Labour Day!". Above that are photos of a range of tools, from wrenches and pliers to pens and pencils, cutters to hammers.
Speaking of tools, did you know that we have a "Tool Room" at the Museum?! Visit us there and explore!
