Glenveagh National Park

This stairway was cut into the quarry that supplied the stone to build Glenveagh Castle in Glenveagh National Park in County Donegal, Ireland. I made this photo on August 5, 2013. According to Heritage Ireland: "Some 16,540 hectares (40,873 acres) of mountains, lakes, glens and woods, with a herd of red deer. A Scottish style castle is surrounded by one of the finest gardens in Ireland, which contrast with the rugged surroundings."
