Description
Much of my time I spent last year on my trip in Ireland was spent in County Mayo, Tourmakeady and the surrounding countryside at a place called Cong was the backdrop for the film "The Quiet Man"
The name Tourmakeady, or Tuar Mhic Éadaigh, means the Bleach field of Mac Ceadaigh. Whereas no trace remains of the family of Keady, the tradition of Flax growing lived on in Tourmakeady, I had found a moor that looked promising with rocks and mountains at the rear, and the stumps of what must have once been a forest almost fossilised over the ages.
I had waited all day for the moody skies to develop and was the scenes for my Storm Journal and Universal Prison series.. However this trek across the moors as can be seen by the poor Sheep trapped in a bog proved hazardous, and even lost a boot and nearly got stuck myself..

A romantic photographic painting, especially because of the skeleton that makes this not an ordinary landscape. I can understand what one goes through to geth the photograph just right, having been there myself and by all accounts, this is a winner. Thank you for sharing. egmont
