Paths we walk

This is an old Mass Path that is over 300 years old. Indeed it could date back to the 1600s which is the date of the original church it leads to. It runs between Kilcoole/Delgany and to the village of Kilquade to the church of St. Patrick. Families would have travelled the 3 miles along here on their way to church and back home again on Sundays long ago. There is a lovely feeling to it and Im sure it comes from the people and children away back then, who walked here with goodness and love in their hearts every Sunday and on holy days many years ago.
The path was cut in half by a new dual carriage way a few years back but the council kept the right of way open and built new access stiles to it on either side of the road as the locals were not prepared to see it closed. Good for them! The people still use the path for walking and exercising their dogs. They also maintain it and keep it trimmed back a bit but not too much as the wildness of it is in keeping with its character. It follows along by a small stream and to me it is a very special place. I often walk it and I did this morning.
Here is a link to the old church in Kilquade which has a great history and if I was religious, I think this is where I would go every Sunday but Id have to walk the old path like those good people all those many long years ago.

Wow! Im amazed how popular this photo is and its really such a simple thing. I didnt have a tripod so I took it hand held.
I had to take it at 4.5 and the best I could manage was 1/40th of a second. Ive steady hands luckily. Real photographers do it hand held!!!! Lol!
Its a great place and I like the history and the simplicity of it.
I think thats what people [You! ] like about it.
So a big thank you and hug to you all!

June 2021 I will participate in Alpe d'HuZes. I will try to climb the Alpe d'Huez 6 times by bike. This is to get as much money and attention as possible for more research into cancer.
Especially for this I made a birthday calendar with my photography. This is one of those photos, which I have specially processed in color for this. Curious about my calendar or would you like to donate? Click here if you want to read more!
Thanks for your visit and comments! Would you like to use my photo on the web or print? Just ask :-)

Though I follow the path
Over hill and dale,
Only time will tell
If it leads back to me.

Badwater Basin in Death Valley, California, USA
(an old photo from my archives, must be about 10 years old)
The salt flats in Badwater Basin (86 m below sea level) cover nearly 200 square miles and are among the largest protected salt flats in the world.
This path leads to a WWII bunker just over the summit. From there you overlook the suburb of North Ward and the Strand. In the distance you can see Magnetic Island. You can tell by the clothes that Winter is very mild here.

This was the beautiful sight that greeted me as I walked a path at Winterthur Gardens near Wilmington, Delaware.
I took a trip with my cousin to the east coast of Scotland, this is the pier at St Monans, Fife. Along the way we took in some sights including Inverkeithing Bay, Weymss Coves and the Standing Stones of Lundin. We arrived at St Monans just in time for sunset. The sun set and we were blessed with a good half an hour of pinky atmosphere. I hope you have a good Sunday.
