Cloigtheach is the Irish language name for a round stone tower.  The word's literal meaning is "Bell House."  This fine example of mica slate and granite is found in the Glendalough valley of County Wicklow, Ireland. The sun was past noon when we arrived at this glacial valley of the Wicklow mountains.  In the few hours available I shot the tower from numerous angles and chose this because the tower is placed in the larger natural environment, viewed as a singular object apart from the monastic city the tower is placed among.
