Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #220 – One Subject Three Ways

Herons are quite shy birds, so I rarely get opportunity to get this close.

Secondly an amazing sculpture (known as the Iron Man) by Maurice Harron, found near Boyle in Co Roscommon.

It is said to be of a chieftain, Hugh O’Donnell “Red”, and his horse, who lead a rebel Irish force against an English force in 1599 called The Battle of Curlew Pass. The English were ambushed while marching through a pass in the mountains, near the town of Boyle.

Many thanks to Patti, for this week’ LAPC challenge.
