First, I was not sure where to post this photo. Architecture seemed the most fitting at the moment. If I knew more about it and could do it justice with discussion, I might have put it somewhere else, but for now, this is where it landed.
This was taken inside the Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin on the final day of our vacation. This is one of the most revered of monuments in all of Ireland. I only recently began learning some of what it stands for and what happened within its walls so I am in no position to really comment on that. If you do not know about it and its history, do yourself a favor and look into it. Its history is terrifying, sad, and triumphant all mixed together. I had a thousand different feelings walking through on our tour and learning some of the things that make it such a special place to the Irish people. I did come out feeling thankful for what I have and where I live and knowing that in order to achieve freedom for a nation, much pain, suffering, and sacrifice had to be laid down by those before us.
