They have a sense of humour here in Ireland.

Image

Clogher Head, Dingle. One of the locations used in Home and Away, a fantastic spot. Met a great old guy taking photos of the waves crashing onto the rocks; "Shame there's no money in them, but I just love taking them".

Staircase, the Quay House, Clifden, Connemara. The nicest B&B I've ever stayed in.

Image

Lots of rainbow colored sheep round these parts.....

Image

Connemara Hooker, a nice beer at the end of the day in a great location at the Clifden Boat Club.

Image

The Alcock and Brown monument on Connemara. They landed here in 1919 after a 16-hour flight from Newfoundland, landing in the bog next to Marconi's wireless station where the first transatlantic radio messages were transmitted. Two amazing achievements in one place.

A crab salad at O'Dowds pub with this view. Life is good.

Spectacular beaches in Connemara, worth seeking out.

Hello there....someone watching over me as I walked the halls of the rather delightful Quay House in Clifden, Connemara

Independent Connemara Red Ale. Nice drop of beer too.

Just your average Saturday night entertainment in Clifden? No, it's the parade to mark the end of the arts festival...

Image

Great food, nice folks. A great stop in Galway.

Sometimes you need a treat in life.

Bus stop, Roman style.

Image

Dutch street signs indicating where to pay for parking. Easy to understand, durable, and reducing street furniture by bring embedded in the pavement. What's not to like? #designsmart
