Ross Castle, Killarney at Night

Written by Darren McLoughlin

Ross Castle at night, Killarney Co. Kerry, Ireland

One of the southwest of Ireland's most iconic buildings, Ross Castle is a tower house or fortified dwelling dating from the late 1400s and is typical of the architecture of the period - wealthy and powerful families lived in such defensive structures.

Seen here after sunset as the blue hour approaches, clouds race across the sky and the waters of the river run calm to give a good, but not perfect, reflection with its bright artificial lights.

This image was taken after a long day's photographing in the southwest of Ireland - throughout Cork and Kerry and was the culmination of the evening's images.
