Herewith all my remaining photos from Inishmore, which happen to all be from the area immediately around what’s probably the island’s most renowned historical site, Dún Aonghasa.

Cill Rónáin (Killronan) is the main village on the Aran Island of Inishmore, which is the most populous of the islands. Above, the village as seen from across the bay during a walk after the driver and tour guide deposited us back in the village, after showing us the key sites of the western 2/3 of the island in a roughly 3-hour walking and driving tour of various sites I’ve shown you in prior posts. Below, a view as our ferry from Rossaveel approached the dock earlier that morning. In the gallery further down are all the other shots from various parts of the island that might give you a sense of “village” life on this lovely but remote and sparsely-populated island.

Soon, I’ll actually start more carefully sorting and curating my Ireland photos. Any day now, I promise. For now, we’re grouping the relatively-appealing shots I took in a given location into larger posts. Here, a historic and religioussite of importance on Inishmore (Aran Islands) called The Seven Churches / Na Seacht dTeampaill.

The Aran Islands – this is taken from a bit of a rise on Inishmore, with a bit of Inishmaan visible in the distance and perhaps even a bit of Inisheer.

Inishmore Island, County Galway, Republic of Ireland, yesterday. Landed early Monday, flying back on Saturday, exploring the island with Nikos in the driver’s seat and me taking so far way too many photos. But the weather forecast is rainier the next several days, so…we shall see how often the camera comes out.
