My Attempts

By Bernydoll

Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin

This a really big tourist attraction now in Dublin.  There are over 1.6 million people buried there, more people in the cemetery than in the City of Dublin. Ireland is currently commemorating the centenary of the 1916 Rebellion and the cemetery is a big part of that.  The cemetery being established by Daniel O'Connell as a place where people of "all religions and none' could bury their dead with dignity.  In the extras I've included Daniel O'Connell's crypt where some of his family member's coffins are piled up in plain view, and in great condition.
I've included a link about James Larkin, a trade union leader and socialist activist. My blip is of his gravestone.  In the extras I've included a stained glass insert from a memorial which I thought was beautiful and when I looked at it closely I can see a celtic cross in the back ground which added to the shot.
