The mark of her Irish heritage

For a year before her family’s ancestral pilgrimage to Ireland, Liz McGlinchey King of Culver City studied the country’s history. Long before she and about 20 relatives from four generations left the U.S., the ancient high crosses captivated her. So standing before the real thing proved breathtaking. The evening before the family’s departure from County Clare, she sneaked away to take this night shot of the Doorty Cross at Kilfenora Cathedral. She used a Canon PowerShot A570.
