I love the door-way "frame" for this photo. Great choice ... adds to the "mystique". Thanks for sharing!

Someday, when I'm rich, I'd like to live in a castle, at least for a little while

thanks erene, there is a sign that asks people to respect the privacy of the family living there, and they leave the gate open to allow better views

erene In reply to ottomatt [2009-06-06 09:39:21 +0000 UTC]

The crime rate must be very low for them to leave their gate open.

they probably have very large sticks to beat the crowds away

there are stories of hauntings in that castle
of course the Irish see ghosts everywhere, and they are always good for the tourists
When I first saw this I thought I was in Disneyland
