Looks corroded
>>221104721Are some ugly diseased looking rocks really all Ireland has going for it? Grim
>>221104916yes
what about all the castles ? post ruins. post piles of rocks in the shape of walls
>>221104916I visited a medieval abbey there, which was built by Catholics from the Continent, using French/Italian methods.But the stone and the techniques from down South don't hold up well in Ireland: mold and even algae from the constant humidity eat away at workable rock, consuming the detail and decoration of all architecture.If a place is abandoned for some decades, with nobody applying paints and cleaning the roofs, it can no longer be repopulated because the humidity destroys wood and soft stone, making the whole structure prone to sudden collapse.Hence the spread of superstition: "just stay away from ruins".So the ONLY ancient buildings that still stand, the ONLY carvings and ancient art, is the rough, deep and blocky etching on the hardest stone.All the frescos are gone, all the wooden altars are rotted away, all statues are defaced by humidity, all exotic, foreign or experimental architecture is now rubble under the constant rainfall.
