The monastic site of Monasterboice in County Louth is one of the oldest monasteries in Ireland, said to have been founded in the 6th century by St. Buite. It is the site of a round tower and three High Crosses (also known as Irish or Celtic crosses).

Muiredach's Cross, shown in this twilight photo, is generally accepted among scholars as being the finest High Cross in all of Ireland. It is splendidly carved in a giant block of sandstone with biblical scenes, and was designed to act as a guide for teaching scriptures to the lay population of early medieval Ireland.

Most photos of Muiredach's Cross are taken during the day, and some of those are very beautiful. However, if you want to really show off ancient carvings and stone art, you simply cannot beat a photo taken in twilight and using remote lighting. The figures on the cross stand out dramatically in this image. I hope it is a fitting tribute to the master carvers who created this beautiful piece of craftsmanship in the 10th century.

Printed on high quality photographic paper that is fade resistant. The watermark (logo) shown is not on the final print.
