Irish Stables Need A Facelift
Stables in Black And White
These monochrome photos come from Ireland this week
These shots are of the West Stables at Bantry House. The building would have originally housed the carriages and been stables for the horses, as well as possible accommodation for the outdoor staff.
It has fallen into disrepair but is, supposedly, being restored with the help of a Heritage Council grant. I didn't see much sign of this though, when I was there a few years ago.
None the less, it is still a very imposing building to look at, I think.

And this is the view from the other side with the sun filtering through the trees.

Interesting building... Any idea why it has the dome on top? Was that just decorative?
I like the second photo with the light rays.
I think the dome (cupula?) is purely decorative @fotosdenada although, given that the building is a stables, maybe it provided ventilation of some sort. We weren't able to go inside so I didn't find out much about it.
