    Description

    Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6) postcard with a view of St. Finbarr's Church
    at Gougane Barra in County Cork, Ireland.
    A pair of swans float past the small chapel.
    Photo by Peter O'Toole.
    Front caption reads, "St. Finbar's Church, Gougane Barra, West Cork, Ireland."
    Back caption reads, "GOUGANE BARRA: This lake, the source of the River Lee,
    is set amid magnificent mountain scenery with brooding cliffs rising above the dark waters.
    In the lake is a tiny island connected to the mainland by an artificial causeway.
    This island was the site of the hermitage of St. Finbarr, patron saint of Cork. Nothing
    now remains of this early building, but there is a relatively modern chapel built about
    1900. It is built of local sandstone and has a head of St. Finbarr inset above the richly-carved
    doorway."
    Card 2/570 published by John Hinde Ltd., Cabinteely.
    Split back; used with a Grá 24 p stamp and mailed to Louth.
    Inked note reads,
    "25 June 89
    Greetings from West Cork. The weather has been marvellous
    and the hay saving was item number 1 last week. They saved
    14 acres of hay from different holdings around so next week we'll
    do some  ? - Love Maureen."
