Connemara is the Gaeltacht region, northwest of
Galway city. Stone walls trail along the landscape, interspersed
with cottages and modern houses, and stacks of peat that are harvested from the surrounding
turf to heat the homes. The peat mingles with the water, which is a dazzlingly clear black
that sparkles with reflections of the sky and mountains. You can see and hear for miles.
Brilliant strands of light beams shoot through the clouds, shifting easily with the wind and
striking the mountains and lakes with shafts of light. It is peaceful country.
It lies itself quietly out before you.
