The Skelligs from Bolus Head

This has become the iconic image of our residency on the southwest coast of Ireland, County Kerry. The Skelligs (skellig means craggy rock) are 2 islands. The larger one (Skellig Michael or in Gaelic Sceilg MhichĂ­l) housed monks from the 7th to the 12 centuries. More images on that later, as it was toward the end of our stay.
