Church Island

Well, I finally got to take a trip out to Church Island the other week. It was a bumpy ride out in the boat, kind of fun actually, the same sort of fun you get out of riding a motorbike. We were hoping to be able to see Skerries from the Island, you could, but not in the way I had imagined it.

I did however get a nice shot of the old church out there. Apparently that is St. Patrick in the window, I think you really have to use your imagination to see it or really want to see it there. It just looks like a hole in the wall to me.

For those who are not aware. St Patrick's Island is so called because this is where the Saint Patrick is reputed to have landed and begun his mission to convert the Ireland to Christianity.
