I was visiting Ireland for eye surgery and had Kilmainham Gaol on my bucket list of places to see. You can almost feel the presence of spirits wandering around inside the jail.
The Cross was placed right where the inmates who were executed stood.
I've always wondered if before the inmates were blindfolded, was the last sight they saw, the door at the end of the courtyard? If so, did they see it as the freedom that was so close, yet so agonizingly, impossibly far away? Od id they see it is an allegory to exiting this world and stepping into the next?
I used a Canon 7D on a tripod, with a 10-20 mm Sigma lens. Settings were F4, 1/60th at 400 ISO.
