Inis Mor is the largest of the three Aran Islands, located west of Galway, bordering Galway Bay and the Atlantic Ocean proper. It is calm, peaceful (especially at this time of year, way past peak tourist season), quiet, windy and wet.
Many more pictures than I usually post:
 |
| Rocky NW shore of Inis Mor. (November 4). |
 |
| Example of the rock walls that delineate fields where livestock feed. These walls extensively criss-cross the island. (November 4) |
 |
| To illustrate the above point: cows! (November 4). |
 |
| As opposed to the north side, the south coast of the Island juts above the sea, which pounds gorgeous cliff sides. (November 5) |
 |
| A small bay on the south side of the Island. where the cliffs were eroded by the sea. Note Dun Ducathair on top of the cliff to the left. (November 5). |
 |
| The ground leading to those cliffs... (November 5) |
 |
| Yet, cows still graze there... (November 5) |
 |
| The 'Black Fort' (Dun Ducathair), a rock fort that dates back at least 1500 years. (November 5) |
 |
| Kilronan, the largest village in Inis Mor. (November 7) |
 |
| The north-east end of the island offers yet another terrain: a wide grassy field. (November 7) |
 |
| Waves crashing on the eastern coast of the island., Part I. (November 7) |
 |
| Waves crashing on the eastern coast of the island, Part II. (November 7) |
 |
| The surf crashing on the cliff sides of Inis Man, the smaller island to the east of Inis Mor. (November 7). |
 |
| And, because I haven't posted a bird picture in a while, what I am guessing is a pheasant of some sort. (November 4). |
