County Laois travel guide

A view of Kilkenny Castle from the pedestrian bridge over the river at dusk. #colorful

Vikings, Normans, a kidnapped princess, and a mysteriously ruined castle! Come on, you gotta get here!

As a photographer living in Ireland I'd love the opportunity to compare another ancient island civilization that is geographically in the opposite corner of Europe. The juxtopositon could be amazing!

I was lucky enough to get a clear night without any clouds or moon. I just wish it wasn't so cold!
