Day 32 - 27th July – More of the Connemara

Perhaps I had not ventured far enough into the Connemara yesterday to be critical – wrong – we head further out – on the more major roads the once pristine Connemara shows the signs of tramplings of the now old and slightly arthritic Celtic Tiger – new houses and untidy construction sites are far too common and litter the country side like the tiger droppings - the minor roads show a much more original but still damaged landscape – we selectively photograph the way we image the Connemara should remain – perhaps it is not entirely too late – this is a sad failure of planning – perhaps it will be realised before the landscape of the bog Irish is lost forever – not my definition of progress.
