There's a lot of well known features in the pic. so maybe i should have asked where it's taken from?

It's weird how they look the same

All Cistercian abbeys follow the same basic architectural layout, as set out by Saint Bernard in the early twelfth century.

have the OPW actually finished puttin a roof back on the bit wit the stained glass window?

Yes.

course the OPW stuck their oar in so is not as cool as when we were kids and you could actually climb up along the battlememts that you can see in the photo

The OPW hasn't stopped people doing that; just discouraged it.

I took my photo from the same spot you took yours (on the bridge or in the ruin(which would be the old church) just off the bridge)

OK, so here goes, its easy if you're from the area !
Q. Where this place & where did I take it from ?
(Note: some may know straight away, pls hold off & give others a chance !)

sam_mom1

i know where it is but not 100% sure where it taken from, just want to say thats a feckin cool photo though, for some reason it looks like its a model church not the real thing hahahaha

Morrisseeee

Thanks..

its a model church not the real thing hahahaha

Yep, that was the idea.

St Senan

Its Enniscorthys Cathedral. the snap seems to be taken from the shannon side of town or maybe from the new Dunne stores roof/ steel silos that were there.

I'm curious, but not sure about that. Look at the background and look at the sequence of shots on the pix.ie site (I cheated) and I don't think it is Enniscorthy. Where would the elevated viewpoint be? I don't know where it is but I don't think it's Enniscorthy. I'm still looking to see where it could be though, how many places have a church or cathedral of that size?

Am waiting for Europerson to get this one!

He knows all when it comes to churches and cathedrals.

RKQ

Its Enniscorthys Cathedral. Probably high zoom from maltings / new dunnes stores.

arseagon

Yep it's the cathedral in enniscorthy alright. The orangish building in the background i think is Dawsons pub of the Duffry?

Where you were taking it is beyond me? Going out on a huge limb, Vinegar hill with a telescopic lens on the camera? It's the only point I can think of that would be high enough.

hamsterboy

Think i know where he was taking that pic from Arseagon....

He was on top of.......


YORE MA!!!!

*scuttles away giggling maniacally........


HB

St Senan

It's the cathedral alright but looking at the images in pixx.ie the high rise fields in the background dont exist or never existed the pub is Donohoes the houses are Patrick street the round steel roof is o,Conners coal yard and behind that is bellefield gaa grounds but the high rise fields should not be in the photo

Morrisseeee

Sorrie folks, I had forgotten about this post.
Yep its Enniscorthy Cathederal alright, taken from Vinegar Hill with a Zoom lens.
So.......next photo please....

RKQ

Vinegar Hill! What size lens did you use?
Great pic!

Morrisseeee

It was with an old 100-300mm Pentax lens, probably taken at 300mm.

Background: I then loaded up the pic in Photoshop CS3 & used a Blur tool to blur the houses to enhance the Cathederal. I was going to delete the pic at first as there were too many distractions in it, but I liked the way the birds were just flying around the Cathederal, then when I zoomed in on the original pic I thought I'd give the Blur tool a try !

thedarkroom

Here's a new one.

Morrisseeee

Nice photo.
Is it the Wexford end of Curracloe beach ?

I thought that at first but I don't think it is, or else its a really old one.

sam_mom1

Ballymoney??? ive never been there, but i think thats curracloe off in the distance so its must up the coast

Badabing

Is it sheilbaggan?

St Senan

I reckon its up around Castletown that looks like Tara hill in the background

Mahatma coat

Dunno I would have said Grange beach at Fethard

but I have horificaly wrong on most of these so far

Scaller has it. It's the sand dunes south of the Coast Guard station at Kilmichael, looking south. The beach is called Kilpatrick. A great place for a few photographs (particularly at sunrise), good for birdwatching and generally just a nice place for a good walk.
