Mysterious

The gathering clouds add a mysterious mood to the old abbey in Carlingford.
Back home from a very brief trip to the west of Ireland, and I'm finding it mysterious that this corner of the country which I call home isn't better known to tourists.
It's every bit as beautiful as more famous places but then maybe it's a good thing that it's undiscovered.

"Ooooh..."
Quite literally what I said when I clicked through to this one, such is the haunted, ominous mood. I like the positioning; the way you're using the archway to frame the walls beyond, and also the "double arch" formed by the archway and the hill on the right.

lovely patches of light illuminating the inner walls...not sure if you really want busloads of tourists in your area, although that might boost the local economy..

Because of what I've seen in your pictures, your area would be my first destination!

Undiscovered is good...your own little piece of the world. V

May be it has to do with history, so close to the Northern Ireland border. Sure, to be still undiscovered, makes your home area even more charming. I like the mood in this image. v

This tourist did visit your town in 1985! And your neck o' the woods is beautiful as is this mysterious image! V

Perfectly mysterious. Glad you showed the mist shrouded mountain, it really makes the perfect back-drop. V

It is a fitting mood for the skeletal remains. Beautifully photographed. V.
