12th century Round Tower, Ardmore. This is the Irish town where my great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother lived before coming to America. #RoundTower #CelticCross #Ardmore #CountyWaterford #Ireland #IrishSea #Cemetery #Landmark #MedievalArchitecture #Photography

A 12th century round tower rises up about 100 feet over a cemetery. It is made of stone and appears to be larger at the base and tapers as it rises. At the very top it ends in a point. Just under that on the left a vertical window is visible. To its right is a large Celtic cross and around the bottom of the photo are some tombstones. At the bottom right of the photo the waters of the Irish Sea can be seen. Above that are some grey clouds and above those a blue sky with some white clouds to the center and left.
