An absolutely beautiful glass lake at Gougane Barra. Located in County Cork, it is said to have originally held a monastery. The current ruins are dated to the 1700s when a priest from Cork used to retreat to it. It’s remote nature made it a perfect place for Roman Catholic Mass to be celebrated during the oppressive penal laws that prevented the religion from being practiced in the open. . . . #landscapephotography #boat #gramslayers #ireland #justgoshoot #wandering #travelmore #roamtheplanet #instapassport #travelingram #landscape_captures #glasslake #geographic #trapping_tones #loves_ireland #visitireland #irishpassion #tourismireland #travelguide #seetheworld #travelstoke #bbctravel #passionpassport #travelawesome #letsgoeverywhere
