E Window, Teampull Na Skellig, Glendalough: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of the E Window in Teampull Na Skellig, located in the ancient monastic city of Glendalough in County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate stonework and timeworn charm of this derelict building. Teampull Na Skellig, or the 'Church of the Skull,' is a small, ruined church nestled in the heart of Glendalough Valley. Its name is derived from the nearby Skull Altar, a stone with a skull-like carving that was once used for burial rites. The church itself is believed to have been built during the early Christian period, around the 11th or 12th century. The E Window, so named for its distinctive shape, is a stunning example of the intricate craftsmanship and artistic skill of the monks who once inhabited this sacred site. The window's arched design is adorned with intricate carvings of geometric patterns, intertwining vines, and abstract shapes, all framed by the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Despite the passage of time and the ravages of the elements, the E Window remains a captivating reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Glendalough and the wider Republic of Ireland. This photograph invites us to pause and reflect on the past, and to appreciate the enduring beauty and mystery of this ancient place.
