Connemara

In a country dotted with small towns, the Connemara region of Ireland stands out for being particularly rural and rustic feeling. Between the lack of crowds and wide-open vistas, it felt like a different Ireland. But still with sheep. There are always sheep.

The landscape, the wind, the rain, and the ever-changing light were reminiscent of my trips to Iceland (minus the ice and snow). The light, while fleeting, could be particularly sublime. It may very well warrant another trip.

In a country full of sheep, I found the sheep here to be among the most photogenic. 
Sun, rain, and clouds. 
Clearing weather.
Low clouds and rain. 
Perhaps the most popular attraction in Connemara, the Kylemore Abbey.
The ever-changing light of the Connemara landscape.
Winding…
… and waving roads. 
And when it’s too rainy to be out, you stay in for tea or coffee.
