Caught My Eye 18. The Hills Have Eyes

Caught My Eye  is a series of blog posts showing scenes I found interesting, odd, curious or beautiful. I am not a photographer, so please do not expect top quality photography :-). But please enjoy a glimpse of the world through my eyes.......or in this case, perhaps someone else's.....
The Hills Have Eyes (own photo)
Who's looking at you? Seems the hills really do have eyes.  Yesterday I walked the cliff path from Greystones to Bray and took a pic of one of my favourite sights along this route, the train tunnel 'eyes' watching from below. Spooky, eh?

The outer 'eye' is the old coastline train tunnel which was in use up until a tragic accident occurred in the 19th century. A new tunnel was built after that, but you can read the story for yourself here:

I will be back with more information and scenes from this cliff walk to add it to my blog section Inspiring Walks.
