Yesterday proved that West Penwith always has something new to offer, as I visited 3 ancient sites I'd not been to before; Caer Bran, the Blind Fiddler standing stone and Trelew standing stone (guarded by some feisty horses!). #StandingStoneSunday #WestPenwith #Cornwall #ancientmonuments

A magnificent, imposing view of Duckett's Grove, a Gothic Revival mansion in County Carlow, Ireland, stands under a bright, cloudy sky. The main focus is the elaborate central tower, constructed from light-coloured stone, with intricate detailing, arched windows, and a crenellated top. To the left and right, the substantial remains of the mansion's walls, with their distinctive pointed arches and decorative stonework, convey a sense of its former grandeur despite their ruinous state. Lush green grass stretches across the foreground, leading up to the historic structure, which evokes a strong sense of Irish heritage and romantic decay.

A wide-angle, elevated view of the Seefin Passage Tomb cairn in County Wicklow, Ireland, under a bright blue sky with wispy clouds. The foreground shows a large mound of grey stones with the dark, circular opening of the tomb visible at its centre. Beyond the cairn, the landscape stretches out into the distance with rolling green hills, patches of dark forest, and a glimpse of a lake under the expansive horizon. The overall mood is one of historical significance and natural grandeur.

A low-angle interior shot within Tintern Abbey, Ireland, showing a tall, arched window with multiple panes and a diamond-shaped lattice pattern. The window casts intricate, patterned shadows on the wooden floor. Outside, a bright green field and trees are visible under a bright sky. To the left, a framed image hangs on a white brick wall, and to the right, another framed painting is partially visible, also on a white brick wall. The scene evokes a sense of historical tranquility and natural beauty.
