Almost Wordless Wednesday: Tintern Abbey, County Wexford, Ireland

Not the Tintern Abbey referred to in Wordsworth's poem, but another Tintern sometimes called Tintern de Voto, a 12th century Cistercian Abbey located in County Wexford, Ireland.  One of my favourite places on earth, contemplative and magical, evocative of the same kind of "tranquil restoration" which moved Wordsworth.
