Foggy day in the Bogs

As I was wondering what to share with you I came up with those foggy images from the Bogs in Oughterard, a bit of nature and landscape photography from a few years ago which I haven't shared yet. 


I have to say that walking the bogs is a fascinating experience for me, I find them beautiful, exciting and fascinating, especially in summer, and most of the time extremely wet!! So don not venture in there without some wellies and certainly don't decide to cross bog lands on your own thinking you can do it as a short cut!! It is most likely impossible!!!

Believe me, I have tried. The things I have done with my camera!!!!

Anyway here we are in the bog lands around Oughterard, someone most likely will recognize the place, and well done to you, for the rest of you -- enjoy!!

Oughterard, Another great find

I was walking home the other day through the lovely village of Oughterard when I came upon something new. I just love when people have artistic outburst! 


I am going to start with a new window decoration on one of the deserted buildings on main street, right next to the Post Office.
Isn't it just great when people come up with great ides like that!
I love human ingenuity and sense of art and the gift to create something out of nothing.
I am so happy that there are people like that among us to brighten up our day.

So, join my photo walk through Oughterard and discover a few great finds with me.

Please, tell me what you think!!


I have to start with this discovery, I simply have to share with you all!!! Isn't it gorgeous!!
Well done, I say, to the person who brightened up this old and rusty corner.




And then just a few meters away, there is this little gem!!



This is the boat at the entrance of town which is rather a cool idea as well.



  I got this lovely find on the benches in front of the health center 





Then I continued my walk down Main Street 



We can get ready for Halloween already too!!



I always liked the metal Boat Inns sign


And the cheerfulness of the tourist shop


Living notes around can only be helpful


Almost at the end of my walk I met this curious fellow

I also had time to admire the golden leaves of course :)


Have a great day!! Wherever you are!


Another great photo walk in Oughterard
