DUNGUAIRE IRISH CASTLE

Dunguaire Castle is located in Galway Bay near Kinvara in west Ireland.

 

This 16th-century castle with its 75 foot-tower, and its defensive

wall have been restored and are now to excellent condition, surrounded

by a idyllic landscape.

 

The sea there enters deep in the land and the castle stands in the

innermost of the Galway Bay.

 

The castle was built by the Hynes clan in 1520, a family who has been

associated with the area since 662, when the site is believed to have

once been the royal palace of Guaire Aidhne, the legendary king of

Connacht and progenitor of the clan.

Fantastic light & colors, Karolos ... a lovely & beautiful composition. Regards.

Very good composition, excellent light and tones. Compliments!! (7/7 an.)

This castle would make a great set for the first scene of "Hamlet" and the appearance of the King's ghost to the poor guards! Impressive scenery and ultimate exploit of the location potentials. The strong side lighting on the castle walls, perhaps implies an added-on sky , which if is the case, adds the necessary eerie character to this eye-pleasing photo. Warm regards and compliments

Beautiful light and dramatic sky. I really like the shadow modeling of the castle itself! Great depth and detail, very nice Karolos!

Love it in my favs as of now ! Great image !

Spectacular shot,Karolos. Looks almost like a painting. Many thanks for the historical background and location of this palace.Composition,light,exposure and colours are superb.

Excellent scenery and elaboration, Karolos. Deserves by any means the max ratings.

Very mysterious! I like! Cheers, J

Excellent work.7/7anon.Regards.Janusz.

It has been there for centuries and it will be there for years and years! Somehow the light and composition brings up a feeling av eternity in this photo! Warm regards/ janis Lukas

The underexposed look enhances the effect of this image.

It makes me imagine people who lived there hundreds of years ago; looking at this same building with awe and, perhaps, fear...

Congratulations.

Excellent, my friend. Great work. Fantastic lights and composition. Best regards.

Beautiful scene with a delight of colors and atmosphere. Excellent work, Karolos! Congrats!
