Harmony Realized Amidst Tribulation
Oh, the hills of Ireland! I am truly captivated by this landscape of trees, hills, and the old stone church. I feel that this scene exposes the harsh realities faced by Ireland. Yet, perseverance dazzles its way through the most terrible storm and stands strong! Look at the old church for a moment. It is evident that relentless time and weather have beaten its sides; however, though moss grows atop the ancient structure, the solid foundation it is built on allows for the sanctuary to testify the faith, honor, and love that has enabled several generations to prevail!

Nice shot. This looks to me like one of the forts built by the Normans after the invasion from England in the 1170s. These small castles were built specifically for the purpose of establishing military lines of communication across country, so they are often (a) situated near water (for subsistence and also because rivers were often the easiest way to travel cross-country) and (b) situated on high ground, so that signals could be sent (by flag or fire) from one to the next.
