Lots of pictures, very few words I like taking photos. I also may write something every 6 months. Don't hold your breath.

Aran Islands

IRELAND | Thursday, 20 September 2007 | Views [333]

The cliffs on the wild western side of the island. The wind was so strong this day that it was a struggle to hold the camera still. Here's a fact for you Mum: a few tourists die on Ireland's west coast every year by being blown off cliffs in strong gusts of wind!

Some of the stone walls are over 4000 years old. Part of the reason they were built is to fence off land, part just to clear the land so it is free of stone. Most of the soil is made from seaweed amd composting over thousands of years

This horse/donkey/mule thing was in a small paddock just down the road from where I was staying, and was super friendly, coming up for a pat and a pose
