Photojournale : Photo documentary and photo journal stories from around the world - The Irish Islands of Inis Oirr and Inis Man | Ireland http://bladepicturecompany.com/categories.php?cat_id=156 -Liam O?Flaherty, 1927

The photographs in this portfolio were taken during the summers of 2005, and 2007. They are my personal response to my experiences of walking the lanes of these atmospheric, yet strangely insular islands of Inisheer and Inishman. Located in the mouth of Galway Bay, they are geologically connected to the western area of Ireland called The Burren, an escarpment of Karst limestone. I make no pretense to obtaining any profound understanding of this deep and long-standing culture, with its unique traditions, only a fascination with the haunting tonality of the landscape, and the special qualities of its people.

These photographs can only touch upon the places that made an impression upon my spirit; the Holy Well, the ruins of churches over a thousand years old, the endless miles of stone walls enclosing tiny plots of handmade pasture, the great banks of clouds through which the shifting light streamed in great flourishes, the wild Atlantic Ocean encircling these tiny islands. And the careful politeness of the gaelic-speaking villagers embodying a world of timeless connection to the weather, the landscape, and tradition??
