Sorry, it's actually called Dromoland 'Turret'.
It's a small structure on a hill opposite the main gates.
Built for observing the training of horses many moons ago.

Excellent shot.Very atmospheric photo.

(P.S.
Architecturally speaking, the object is technically a "folly" in the grounds of Dromoland Castle. I have passed that floodlit "folly" many many times on my journey from Galway to Cork.
The fact that most of the floodlight beams miss it completely has always annoyed me.The floodlights too are "follies".)

Peter.

Yes, I've also seen the mad beams, they must have been setup by complete idiots. !

Probably the same nutters who set up the floodlights for Bunratty.
Talk about overkill.
This kind of lighting is just plain wrong.

That is a great shot!!! The detail on the moon is well balanced with the rest of the lanscape. Really well done 8-)
