Two beautiful rural Irish churches

In today's sad world where more and more people are becoming disillusioned with faith of any kind. It can come as refreshing to witness things built in bygone ages as a testimony to their belief. It is also surprising to see without the modern age and superior technology, how clever they were. Finding the right spots and even centuries later, their church spires being highly visible from many parts of the surrounding countryside. Then again the workmanship both inside and outside these establishments is a joy to behold.

Was it them or were they being led by a higher power? I challenge anyone to walk inside here and not to experience an almost profound sense of peace. Perhaps it is something more of us should spend more time thinking about?

Here is a small lens on two beautiful churches in South West Cork and it is also a pictorial challenge which all are welcome to participate in. Having said that if your local church happens to be the Sistine chapel, then these churches have no chance. However if you happen to live outside highly built up areas or you have seen and photographed some gem. Please feel free to add it to the plexo. Thanks and have fun.
