The Galtys or: A change of seasons

Last Sunday we went out for a little hike. This picture was taken at the beginning. We walked on a nice trail and the weather was beautiful.

After about 1 hour we arrived at the Lough Muskry and experienced a sudden change of weather, as you can see:

But if you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes and it will be different:

Some showers later we arrived at the peak of Galtybeg mountain and had a wonderful view over the whole Galtys. We had only a quick break up there, because the wind nearly blew us off the peak and then made our way back through lots of high grass and even more water and mud.

Same trip, different people

Just one week later and I did the same trip again, to show Claudia the beauty of the Aran Islands. The next pictures were taken on the Coast of Galway, you can see the Burren in the background.




On the beach of Inishmore, in the background are the hills of Connemara. We tried the sea once again, and again it was too cold. So we just had lunch at the windy beach and enjoyed the view.


And here is the promised picture of the iron age fort on top of the cliffs.
