#RoundTower

2024-04-21

I am in Copenhagen, hometown of Expressional, and have been enjoying my time here! Biking is for real here! The #bike lanes are taken very seriously and cars actually stop and care about the bikes (unlike in NYC where you really need to yield to the drivers).
@yorky has been showing me around the city- one day I will get one of those Bullitt bikes he has for myself- it's so useful for hauling things!

#Copenhagen also has way more neon than Munich :)

A large round neon teardrop seen while biking back in Copenhagen. Similar to my eclipse spirals, but giant, no spiral and no eclipseA close up of the bridge to Sweden with two of Copenhagen's spire towers in the photo, the nearby one has a copper roof. One day I will go over this bridge.Yorky's bike. A Bullitt brand with a child seat in the front and pedals in the back. I want one in New York to haul glass and other things and not childrenA photo of Copenhagen skyline with a stock building smoldering in the background. Taken from the top of Round Tower.

This is a really unique build idea. He took an etching from a 18th century artist and rendered it as a 3D model. Really cool. It got my vote.

We attended our friends' daughter's beautiful wedding in Dublin on Saturday and spent the evening in a lovely old house near Maynooth. Just up the road was this ruined church and fantastic round tower at Taghadoe.

Taghadoe round tower (central) shot looking upward with a church supporting castellated buttress (left) and a glimpse of mid-morning sun peeping round the lower left side of the tower.A wide shot of Taghadoe round tower (left) and roofless and windowless church ruin (right) in bright blue-skied and wispy clouded mid-morning sunshine. Rich green grass surrounds the structures and a pebbled path winds up to them.Steep shot from the base of the tower accentuating its main round-headed doorway and mid-height window. The sky has been darkened to rich blue and the coursing of the stonework emphasised. A single black crow flies near, but away from, the top of the tower.

Abernethy Tound Tower, which stands close to the centre of Abernethy, south-east of Perth. The image shows a village square with a tall circular round tower in the far right corner, and a mercat cross in the near left foreground. There are cars parked on the far side of the square and the scene is in sunlight.

A fairly well-preserved sheela-na-gig on the medieval church in Killinaboy (Irish: Cill Iníne Baoith "Church of the daughter of Baoth")

On the gable wall there's a Lorraine cross – an unusual feature in Ireland – and behind the ruin is the stump of a round tower

An arched doorway in old church ruins. Above the entrance is a relief sculpture of a sheela-na-gig with a suggestion of facial features that may just be lichen patterns on the stone. Outside the entrance and within the building on the grassy ground are clustered grave slabs and tombstones, some weathered, some relatively new.The stump of a round tower in the cemetery outside the old church ruins to the left. The tower is 3 or 4 metres tall and 4 or 5 metres across, rounded on top with grass growing on it. Tombstones surround it, and the sky is moodily overcast.

View of the Round Tower at #Glendalough

The monastic site was founded by St. Kevin and dates back to the 6th Century. It has a cathedral, a priest’s house built in the Romanesque style and several churches, the most famous being St. Kevin’s Church.

The graveyard beside it has examples of Celtic high crosses and the round tower is considered one of the best in Ireland.

The Irish Round Tower at Kinneigh is West Cork’s only surviving example of such a structure and is unique in that it is the only one with a hexagonal base. The large Celtic Cross headstone in the foreground was erected by the famous collector of Irish music, Chief Francis O’Neill, to the memory of his O’Mahony grandparents.
