Beside an ancient bank stands an ark. Moored to a quay ready to commence a journey.
Saint Mary's Church Greencastle is now separated from the sea by twelve lanes of motorway but the journey is still present.
Walking through a grove of trees, the busy road is left behind and timber seats on piled up stones offer rest and a place to meet.
