Day 87

Kilmainham Prison in Dublin, Ireland - another photo from this old prison from the middle staircase surrounded by individual cells.  Felt like a cathedral inside and the acoustics were amazing - our guide claimed the design was so the guards could hear each other anywhere and they could even hear the inmates whispering.  (8mm, ISO-125, 1/40sec, f/4.5)
