We welcome all praise…
We don’t need any reminder that we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, all doubt about that was eroded when we watched this stunning clip of Kerry.
But it’s always nice to get a little reminder anyway…
Bill O’Leary, a photographer with The Washington Post, recently visited Connemara on a trip, and he was left in awe of the beauty of the area, so much so that he felt compelled to write about his experience.
Supplementing his account with photos like the ones below, he spoke about a beautiful October on Ireland’s western coast as he and his wife returned to where they got married.

“October can be splendid in Connemara on Ireland’s western coast, with evanescent light and feisty winds, cloud-shrouded mountains and wonderfully wild seas, and rain and sun that come and go with remarkable haste,” O’Leary said.
“We’ve always valued these ancestral lands for their respite as well as their challenges, and this trip did not disappoint.”
“At the end of each day’s adventure, we could retreat to our historic country-house hotel or head for a pub, where we basked next to a warm peat fire, drinking great muddy pints of porter, listening to local musicians.”
Some lovely words from O’Leary to describe the area in west Galway, and we’re sure that anyone who’s ever been there will agree wholeheartedly.
