One of our favourite corners of Ireland is Conemarra in County Galway on the west coast. When we were there in 2006 we stayed in a tiny cottage on a bare slope, where there were more stones than grazing land. The waterways were virtually deserted, just right for peaceful reflection and sketching. Nearby was the most picturesque fishing harbor, a little town called Roundstone, with a seafood restaurant. We dined at ODowd’s, and watched the sun set over the Twelve Pins (or Bens), and lights slowly come on around the bay.

heartfelt images 
Lots of amazing photographs here. I haven’t had a chance to visit Ireland yet but I heard that it’s a beautiful place. I like your ‘solitude’ photograph the best.
Beautiful photos, Christine. I’ve visited Ireland a couple of times and lovely the scenery there. The Ring of Kerry was a real joy. 😉
Gorgeous “S’s”. Solitude for sure!
I could really get used to solitude, seafood and sunset! What a nice combination. Great photos!
your Ireland slide show = soul soothing simplicity!
Very nice Slideshow Christine 🙂
I’m just catching up, as you can see. Do like that shot of the ‘holy’ dry stone wall:)
