That was then. This is now

The house on the left is a typical Irish bungalow ,they replaced the old thatch cottage so beloved of tourists. They sprang up in the late 60's and 70's. On the right is Tyrone House which I have posted before but from a different point of view. Built in the late 1700's it was home to the St George Family who were feared landlords. Their house out lived them...

Beautiful landscape! I prefer the way the thatched cottage looks, but of course I don't have to pay for the upkeep. :)

[Michael Smith]

Excellent history and beautiful scene! Spectacular clouds.

perfect narrative for this... i love how the home of the feared landlords evokes that persona.

[Carol Wiseman]

Great juxtaposition of ancient and modern. Now, why would they both be on the left?? :))

[Nastya]

Wonderful sky and castle.I like very much

lovely sweeping landscape.

[Ukandie!]

Nice contrast between the old and new, and love those clouds. Great sweeping landscape, but it looks like it could be a bit cold out there in the winter, not much shelter.

That St. George family home sure doesn't show much character ~ looks more like a prison than a home! Sure is pretty countryside ~ and some blue sky peaking out, too :)
