Little Skellig From Great Skellig Michael
I was treated to this magnificent view as I climbed the ancient, uneven steps of Skellig Michael while on pilgrimage. I wish I took more shots than I ended up taking but the path is extremely dangerous and one wrong move would most likely result in death which is not what I was aiming for. The boat ride from Portmagee, County Kerry, Ireland, lasted around 1 hour. It’s a hard place to visit as landing on Skellig Michael is completely weather dependant. This particular part of the Atlantic is known for its choppy nature. I literally felt like I was the luckiest guy on Earth when I stepped onto the island. I came here to visit the most Westerly Christian site in Europe. The monastery at the top of Great Skellig was founded by 4th century monks, possibly earlier. The exact date of its foundation doesn’t seem to be known but that doesn’t matter when you’re standing within it’s beautiful walls.
