GALWAY CITY secret places

Every city has its own special secret places that mean a lot to someone and sadly nothing to others. 

Galway is one of those magical places with incredible lively ambiance and a spirit of its own.
I have lived here for quite a few years and walked its streets with my camera in rain and sunshine, good weather, bad weather...you name it.

I will show you a few secret places and snapshots from different parts of town all taken in the last few years. Some are easy to find, others are not that readily revealed to anyone.

You need to know where to go to see the real secret places

   thanks for being here!! 

Thinking of Oughterard

Today I was planning of posting something entirely different but then I came across those images of Oughterard in my data base and I just had to work on them a little and share them with everyone.

So here you go guys, here is me thinking of Oughterard:

Sunrise stars on Main street

Busy summer Oughterard, I just love the flags 

Crossing the bridge on Clifden Road N59

The best seat in Oughterard park 

The view from the surrounding hills towards Oughterard and the Lough Corrib

A beautiful random house from town

Nothing beats a sunset on the pier

Thanks for being here

More images from Oughterard can be found through the links on the right side of the posts

Oughterard in July

I have to admit that this year the weather is rather good compared to the last 5-6 years. 

This very fact, I noticed, certainly attracts far more tourists than usual. This is vital for Connemara since most of the local businesses rely on the summer trade to survive. Hopefully this year will be good for everyone!!!

So I grabbed my camera last week or so and walked around town to take a few snaps.

Here is what I found. Enjoy. Oughterard in July - green, lush and colourful. 

I started out on Cregg Road and admired the green.

I arrived in town at the petrol station and went down the Main road

This window changes decoration regularly. Here you can find how it looked last year

I love that sign, I think it is so colourful.

This is the newly opened cafe and restaurant in town

This is where you can get all your fishing equipment 

From here we go on Station road

Book a room at the hostel and have a few fishing lessons as well

And we finish with these lovely pink hydrangeas I found at the car park 

Thanks for staying with me. See you soon
