Aran Islands have always meant to me beautiful cabled sweaters. Now I’ll forever associate the name with the patterns of rock walls (and sweaters as well).
-
- A road-side scene somewhere west of Spidal, the first time I saw these walled fields. Blew my mind.
-
- A somewhat rough 45′ trip out to Inishmor.
-
- One thatched roof for the family, one small one for the Leprechauns.
-
- Approaching Dún Aonghasa, the ruins of a fort whose oldest parts date to 1000 BC.
-
- Multi-leveled walls are a distinctive feature.
-
- About 85 meters down to the ocean floor.
-
- I was literally lying on my belly to feel safe next to the wall.
-
- Southward.
-
- Northward.
-
- The “7” churches.
-
- Sweaters sweaters everywhere. Actually less expensive on the island than in Galway or Dublin.
