Menlo Castle by jack4john

Menlo Castle

Men-low Castle fell into ruin following a fire in 1910 . 2 women died in the fire the sister or the owner and a maid who jumped from the top floor. This view will change in the next few years as a new bridge across the river will be constructed, Galway City ( just around the corner at the top of this picture) has a huge traffic problem . The bridge and 4 lane road built in the late 1980's no longer has capacity to handle all the one occupant cars heading into town on a daily basis. How long before the new one is over run?.
Well I suppose traffic comes before beauty! Bother - it will spoil this beautiful view!

I'll just focus on this great little ruin castle with the ivy and try not to think about the world falling apart...

Stunning shot! It is truly a shame that society often thinks only in the short term and pays for the consequences later.

What an amazing shot, I love everything about it. Tragic that this sight will go away.

So wonderful that we can capture scenes like this before society gobbles everything up. But sad that our Grand Children will never see the real thing.
