The story behind the image

North of Cork you will look for the ruins of Glanworth Castle. Next to it is the historic Glanworth Mill with the River Funshion. I remember this to be an extremely peaceful location with very little traffic or tourists – it’s just you, this place loaded with history, and the gentle wind that blows across the countryside. I can imagine that the place has not changed at all for a long period of time, so it’s almost as if a time machine has transported us to another century. It would not surprise us to see horse-drawn carriages delivering the grain to the miller. (They didn’t but it’s easy to envision.)
