Local Irish Flora

     It came to me while I was walking in the countryside that I should make a post especially for the local flora. At the moment everything is in full bloom and the green is so lush - this is the best time of the year to walk the hills of Ireland. 

     Here is a little glimpse at the local Connemara flowers and greens.

Passion for Landscapes

     I do have a passion for landscapes and a good view. How great is that? All I need to do is go out, walk a bit, get some fresh air, and enjoy myself. Sounds just perfect to me. 
     And what better place to enjoy the outdoors than Connemara - wild, crazy beautiful and simply unforgettable.

 Connemara in a Dream

Lost in Connemara

      Connemara is a place living up to it's reputation. 
Crazy beautiful, wild, windy and rainy most of the time... Luckily there are a few occasional moments of almost clear skies and sunny bliss.

  

Thanks for stopping by!

In the Middle of NoWhere

    Everyone has heard of the Burren plateau in county Clare, famous for its karst landscape and curious landforms. That does not mean there isn't any in Galway county. A fine example of karst landscape can be found in plenty of places hidden between hedgerows of hawthorns and hazel woods.  
     Somewhere, in the middle on nowhere, between Oughterard and Killannin, in the Rosscahill area, there is a fantastic place. It is absolutely amazing, if you are not from around here it will blow your mind away with its unusual terrain and stunning view! 
     I believe it is worth getting lost from the main road N59,(it connects Galway and Clifden), for a while so you can lay your eyes on it. It is worth the trip. 
     

Thank you for the visit!
