Great Skellig Island, Ireland, 1977
Photograph by James P. Blair
A thousand-year-old headstone stands next to the ruins of an ancient church on Great Skellig Island, off the southwest coast of Ireland. Between the sixth and ninth centuries, the Celtic Christian church spread through Ireland, and the remains of the original monasteries have been preserved on islands like these of Kerry County.

Beautiful picture by the way...I'm planning a trip to Ireland in the Fall of next year...
Hoping to see where my "roots" come from!
Take care,
Nick
