Very nicely done John. I like this composition and the HDR treatment works well.

Thanks John,

nice pics, tried a few pics a couple years ago of it, but the processor messed them up, must revisit again! Theres also 2 long tunnels near there, nearly a mile long through the hills, building that line was a expensive mistake for the great northern!

There are indeed H. They are at Lisummon and Loughgilly on the old Newry to Armagh Line - once the scene of one of the worst rail accidents in Irish rail history.

Hello J ,

Just spent an hour browsing irishantiquities .

Fascinating stuff! I love the info. on the old castles and I have visited some of these myself. I'd like to walk an old railway tunnel sometime. There's one near Ballinhassig in Cork which I'd like to do. I have friends who live near there. Lisummon looks good too.

Looks like the link to your uncles website is not working.

Alan.

Thank you Alan. The Tassagh link may have been removed, but the Lissummon link is still live. The tunnel is easily accessed and is a very enjoyable walk if you're ever in the area.

Regards

John
