A place that cannot be forgotten — The Heavenly Garden in Ireland
Ireland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, full of unique natural landscapes, rocky shores, clean lakes and majestic castles preserved from ancient times.
To see all the sights of the Emerald Isle, a whole vacation is not enough. Therefore, we want to save you time and tell you about one of the unique places in Ireland, which, if possible, is definitely worth a visit.
The crater Irish Sky Garden is a giant landscape monument created by an American Land Art artist James Turrell. Turrell was one of the first to take art to a whole new level and began to develop opto-spatial projects in which "reality differs from visibility."
Such an object can be called the Irish Sky Garden — a mysterious place located in the southern county of Cork.
Irish Sky Garden is an open—air observatory with a depth of 13 meters and a diameter of about 25 meters. A large stone is installed at the bottom of the crater. According to the author's idea, lying on it, a person can contemplate the boundless sky above his head.
And nothing will distract the observer, because everything that is around is framed by the top of the crater, limiting peripheral vision. Just you and the sky.
You can get inside the Irish Sky Garden through a small tunnel. Creating it, the artist wanted to make an association with birth, so at the end of the aisle during the day a bright light breaks through.
Everyone can visit this place in the period from April to November. Groups of tourists are allowed to enter the garden, however James Turrell is convinced that you need to be alone in the garden at least once.
Indeed, it is an ideal place for solitude with your thoughts, contemplation of the surrounding world, enjoyment and peace. If you are a fan of just such a holiday, he advises you to familiarize yourself with a selection of the most beautiful locations that tourists have not yet had time to spoil.
