This Lawrence image of Kilmalkader in Dingle is one of a number taken by the indomitable Mr. French on a trip to the Kingdom. It looks pretty dilapidated at that time and one wonders how it looks today? I love his use of "Forced perspective" using the cross to highlight and dominate the church behind. He was a quare one Mr. French!

yup, he certainly is coming over all creative and dramatic, oh with a wee touch of Photoshop contrast magic we could all be entering another kingdom. there is a wealth of groups for gravestones and graveyards

between the three rocks, is that a small circular stone or ... a snail?

Flickr is sometimes amazing!

https://www.flickr.com/photos/foxglove A snail clinging to the underside of the stone! Well spotted. From now on should we celebrate the presence of snails as some people do for dogs?

Wiki link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilmalkedar The sundial stone is well worth a look. No diamond tipped tools or CNC machining when that was created.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] I never saw that before and I agree, it really is a fascinating piece of work. New one for the bucket list when the slave drivers in Library Towers give the poor Marys a break!

The sundial stone should be close by to the right of frame according to this sketch by William Frazer (before 1905) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000744009 . Has it moved?

Apparently the sundial wasn't used to measure the hours but to mark the times when canonical prayers should be said: Dawn (Prime), Mid-morning (Terce), Noon (Sext), Mid-afternoon (None) Evening (Vespers),

Long since gone or broken off from the hole is the gnomon/style to cast the shadow.

Motto for a sundial, Thomas Geoffrey Wall Henslow O Time, consoler of our grief, Physician great are you, Bringing, as no one else, relief, When things seemed hopeless past belief, And pain had robbed us, like a thief, Of faith in all we knew. PS Here's one he wrote for the Kilmalkader sundial: May thy hours be long, And thy days be bright; May thy cares be few, And thy burdens light.
