Old Bridge was built in 1566 r, at the request of the Turkish Sultan Suleiman. As a place of male competition, "Jumping Icarus" to the Neretva River, is a symbol of Mostar. Croatian hit missiles on 9 November 1993, fell into the river. In the summer of 2004, after reconstruction with international assistance, was inaugurated as the "New Old Bridge".

Stary Most został zbudowany w 1566 r, na zlecenie tureckiego sułtana Sulejmana. Jako miejsce konkursowych męskich "Skoków Ikara" do Neretwy, jest symbolem Mostaru. Trafiony chorwackimi pociskami, w dniu 9 listopada 1993r runął do rzeki. Latem 2004 roku, po odbudowie przy międzynarodowej pomocy, został oddany do użytku jako "Nowy Stary Most".
В этот день мы планировали поездку на болота, чтобы встретить там рассвет. Однако снега выпало столько, что болота превратились в белую пустыню (и крайне опасно ходить по болотам в таких условиях). Поэтому мы приняли решение проехать по старым деревенькам в поисках чего-нибудь интересного. Почему-то меня тянет в деревню, к простому деревенскому сюжету. Хватаюсь ли я за уходящую эпоху?
On this day, we planned a trip to the swamps to meet the dawn there. However, so much snow fell that the swamps turned into a white desert (and it is extremely dangerous to walk in the swamps in such conditions). Therefore, we decided to drive through the old villages in search of something interesting. For some reason, I am drawn to the village, to a simple village plot. Do I cling to the passing era?

I am not sure why these old poles attract me so much, but they do, standing between flowers in the foreground and sunset in the background, all lovely and natural. A memento mori of sorts.
I am also not sure which album it belongs to, you see Canada and US in about equal measure. I put it in both.
My husband and I were taking a Sunday afternoon drive in one of the old rural roads in our area and look what I found on the side of the road. Back in the old days this was schoolhouse.

The monastery was founded by St. Patrick in the 5th century and the remnants of the High Crosses and Round Tower are indicative of its importance. The monastery was linked to St Maelruns monastery of Tallaght and adopted the practices of the Ceile De movement. The Vikings raided the monastery in 932 and it was again burned in 1114. It was the threat from the Vikings, which led to the building of the round tower in the 9th/10th century. A town developed around the monastery with buildings of timber and mud which have since been obliterated by wind and weather.The Round Tower at Old Kilcullen is about 10m high and it has a round-headed doorway. This is less than 2m above ground level and about 1.7m high.
Ancient history books such as the Annals of the Four Masters tell of terrible Danish attacks on Kilcullen in 936 and 944 AD. This probably led to the construction of the Round Tower.
The tower is approximately 40 ft high and the top parts suffered a lot of damage in 1798. An account written in 1782 tells of there being four large windows in the upper part of the tower but only the semblance of one now remains. The village which developed around the edge of the monastery continued to exsist until it was distroyed in a battle on 24th May 1798.
