The moon glows through the Gothic window of Kilmacduagh Monastery, lighting ancient stone with quiet wonder. One can almost feel the presence of monks who stood here a thousand years ago, gazing into the same timeless sky.

I love Irish round towers! Like giant grey pencils or a child’s drawing of a rocket. They date to the medieval period and were probably used as belfries or places of refuge. This one is at Kilmacduagh monastery in Co. Galway. It’s over 30m tall and has a decidedly eccentric lean. 🏺
