Burrishoole Friary, County Mayo, West of Ireland
This national monument is the beautiful ruin of Burishoole Friary. It was founded by Sir Richard de Burgo for the Dominican order in 1469, who resigned his lordship and entered the friary as a friar and remained here until his death four years later. The abbey had a troubled history, due to the political turmoil.
Most abbeys and friaries in Ireland were suppressed during the Reformation and very few, including this one, were rebuilt.
The church and the eastern wall of the cloister remain. The grounds of the friary are an actively used cemetery.
I had waded through water and very wet fields to get this photograph and it was my third attempt over a three year period. It is a beautiful setting in a very quiet tidal estuary, the history of the past all around me, those that were laid to rest gone but not forgotten.

Emotion - the fiery red of Garden Acer
Offshoot weekly theme
emotion. this child emoted for a good half hour and her mother walked off and left her
sicily
Fishing
Fishing in a place is a meditation
on the rhythm of a tide,
a season,
the arc of a year,
and the seasons of life...
I fish to scratch the surface of those mysteries,
for nearness to the beautiful,
and to reassure myself the world remains.
I fish to wash off some of my grief for the peace we so squander.
I fish to dip into that great and awesome pool of power
that propels these epic migrations.
I fish to feel- and steal- a little of that energy.” ― Carl Safina,
