Tower and Tombs. #architecture #glasnevin #tombs #roundtower #cemetery #irishhistory #urbanphotography #geometric #structure #design #smartphonephotography #photography

A low-angle, black and white photograph shows a tall, cylindrical stone tower on the left and a curved brick structure containing doorways to tombs on the right, forming a unique architectural composition within Glasnevin Cemetery. The sky is visible in the open space between the two structures. The ground slopes upwards towards the right, covered in dense foliage, with several religious statues and a church spire visible in the background. A narrow curved pathway beside the tombs on the right.

A low-angle, black and white photograph of the Monasterboice Round Tower, a tall, cylindrical stone structure, with a gated doorway and wooden steps leading up to it. A crow flies to the left of the tower, and a bare tree and Celtic cross are visible in the background under a clear sky. Gravestones are scattered around the base of the tower.

I am in Copenhagen, hometown of Expressional, and have been enjoying my time here! Biking is for real here! The #bike lanes are taken very seriously and cars actually stop and care about the bikes (unlike in NYC where you really need to yield to the drivers).
@yorky has been showing me around the city- one day I will get one of those Bullitt bikes he has for myself- it's so useful for hauling things!

#Copenhagen also has way more neon than Munich :)

A large round neon teardrop seen while biking back in Copenhagen. Similar to my eclipse spirals, but giant, no spiral and no eclipse

A close up of the bridge to Sweden with two of Copenhagen's spire towers in the photo, the nearby one has a copper roof. One day I will go over this bridge.

A photo of Copenhagen skyline with a stock building smoldering in the background. Taken from the top of Round Tower.

This is a really unique build idea. He took an etching from a 18th century artist and rendered it as a 3D model. Really cool. It got my vote.

Abernethy Round Tower, which stands close to the centre of Abernethy, south-east of Perth. It is is 74ft/22.5m high and was probably built in around 1100. It is one of only two circular freestanding towers surviving in Scotland. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/abernethy/roundtower/index.html

Abernethy Tound Tower, which stands close to the centre of Abernethy, south-east of Perth. The image shows a village square with a tall circular round tower in the far right corner, and a mercat cross in the near left foreground. There are cars parked on the far side of the square and the scene is in sunlight.

A fairly well-preserved sheela-na-gig on the medieval church in Killinaboy (Irish: Cill Iníne Baoith "Church of the daughter of Baoth")

On the gable wall there's a Lorraine cross – an unusual feature in Ireland – and behind the ruin is the stump of a round tower

An arched doorway in old church ruins. Above the entrance is a relief sculpture of a sheela-na-gig with a suggestion of facial features that may just be lichen patterns on the stone. Outside the entrance and within the building on the grassy ground are clustered grave slabs and tombstones, some weathered, some relatively new.

The stump of a round tower in the cemetery outside the old church ruins to the left. The tower is 3 or 4 metres tall and 4 or 5 metres across, rounded on top with grass growing on it. Tombstones surround it, and the sky is moodily overcast.

View of the Round Tower at #Glendalough

The monastic site was founded by St. Kevin and dates back to the 6th Century. It has a cathedral, a priest’s house built in the Romanesque style and several churches, the most famous being St. Kevin’s Church.

The graveyard beside it has examples of Celtic high crosses and the round tower is considered one of the best in Ireland.

The Irish Round Tower at Kinneigh is West Cork’s only surviving example of such a structure and is unique in that it is the only one with a hexagonal base. The large Celtic Cross headstone in the foreground was erected by the famous collector of Irish music, Chief Francis O’Neill, to the memory of his O’Mahony grandparents.
