Have Camera Will Travel: Connemara, Co. Galway

Connemara is the mystical landscape that everyone pictures when they think of Ireland

And it still exists; the land is as untouched as ever...everywhere you look there are spectacular views

Washed by the Atlantic Ocean on the west coast of Ireland, it's rugged beauty hides a history of famine, lost loves and thievery

The panoramic views are both vertical and horizontal because the dramatic cloud formations complete each landscape, encapsulating you with no escape
