Weekly Photo Challenge: Growth

From Cahersiveen, County Kerry.

Ballycarbery Castle has seen many kinds of growth over the years.  The current ruins were once a castle, home to the McCarthy family, built around the 15th or 16th centuries.  Nowadays it features a different kind of growth as the ruins have become covered in vines and wild flowers.  A bit more aesthetically pleasing if less functional!

    These are my favorite kinds of pictures. Seeing old man made structures getting taken back by nature. 🙂

      Isn’t it amazing? I took so many pictures of all the vines growing on these ruins.

      It really captures my imagination, like something out of a fairy tale 🙂
