Bee Hive County Kerry Nest Preceding Skellig Michael Archeological Site
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Stone Beehive Huts located on Skellig Michael, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in County Kerry, Republic of Ireland. The huts stand proudly against the breathtaking backdrop of the rugged coastline, symbolizing an ancient past and rich history. These stone beehive huts are a testament to human civilization and ingenuity. Built by early Christian monks in the 6th century, they served as dwellings and places of worship. Their unique architectural design resembles beehives or nests, hence their name. Each hut is meticulously crafted from local stones that seamlessly blend with nature's beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the religious devotion and resilience of those who inhabited these huts centuries ago. The archaeological significance of this site cannot be overstated; it offers us a glimpse into a preceding era when Christianity was taking root in Europe. Skellig Michael's allure lies not only in its historical value but also its natural splendor. The island's isolation adds to its mystique, making it an extraordinary travel destination for adventurers seeking both cultural immersion and scenic wonders. David Lomax/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this momentous heritage site through his lens, inviting us to appreciate the harmonious coexistence between man-made structures and untouched landscapes. This print serves as a reminder that our world is filled with hidden gems waiting to be discovered – where history meets nature at its finest.
