Ulster Graveyards

A headstone dated 1813 in Camus Old Graveyard near Coleraine. The stone is weathered and there is moss growing at the bottom, with orange coloured lichen across the upper part. The engraving is fairly clear and reads - Here Lyeth the Body of William Adam(s?) who Departed this Life 11 Jan(r?) in the Year of our Lord 1813 Aged 18 Years.

A sheep and her lamb grazing - and surrounded by lush green grass.

Looking over the wall at Dunboe Old Graveyard - a #ewe and her #lamb grazing. Something which matches the #BlueSkyArtsShow theme of #Green

Grass with a metal fence in the foreground, with the ruins of a castle perched close to the edge of a cliff with the sea beyond it.

The ruins of #Dunluce #Castle on the North #Antrim #coastline this afternoon.
Although there's been a castle on the site since the 1300's, the current structure dates from the early 1500's and has been abandoned since the late 1600's. It is open to visitors.

A cherry tree surrounded by grass and covered with pink blossom, growing beside a river. The river is reflecting the blue of the sky above. On the other side of the river trees and some buildings are visible.

Several old gravestones beside a tree and a wall, with trees and a river in the distance.

The site for Camus Old Graveyard was probably chosen because of its proximity to a #ford on the #River #Bann
The #wall in the photo is said to have been built with stones from the ruined #monastery
