Ireland, Rock of Dunamase - late 12th century castle on a top of the hill close to the Portlaoise. Though the castle had been ruined since the late 14th century, it was blown up by Cromwellian army in case of reuse of the fortress. Camera: Samsung GX 10, HDR.

Lagiewniki forest: wooden chapels and Franciscans’ Friary

In the north part of the Lagiewniki Forest in City of Lodz youo can find interesting historical buildings. First two - late 17th century wooden chaapels of St Roch and St Anthony built on the water stream and possible water source - a holy well (some people still believe that water from the chapels can heal or at least is healthy). Those pictures are also my first HDR photos.

Nearby of those two chapels, the Franciscans’ Friary. Though the Friary was erected in late 17th century, the building is from the mid 18th century.
