=========================================================

Rathmullan Priory was founded in 1516 for the Carmelite Order by Owen Roe MacSweeney and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
It was to be an important Carmelite House and a beacon of religious piety for the north west of Ireland.
It was still in use in 1595 when we have record of the English leader George Bingham attacking this sacred place.
He stole the treasured Communion Plate as well as other holy relics. After the Carmelites were kicked out,
the Protestant Bishop Knox took over the Priory and started to renovated part of it to use as a private residence.

The present structure is in a ruined state, heavily covered in vines. The Priory lies in the heart of the village
and is visited by hundreds of tourists each year.

This photograph was sent in by Jenny taken on her Sony Ericsson W890i mobile phone.
Jenny told us that she had not seen anything there when she had taken the photo and only noticed the ghostly image
when she was reviewing the pictures later.

We have used the original photo and included enlarged versions to show the ghostly image in higher detail.

twice solarized/autolevels are making the edges more defined:

the reticulation filter sometimes works better than finding edges, and i just adore this filter...
(just like the embossing filter, watch the white/black levels carefully, and find the correct level for each photo U reticulate or it will not work.)

autolevel:

inverted:
