A selection of my impressions snapped at the Ballinasloe Horse Fair (County Galway, Ireland), the oldest horse fair in Europe, held since the first half of the 1700s. It is a traditional meeting place of the Irish Travellers, who resemble in their lifestyle to the Roma (Gypsies), yet there are not genetically connected with them. The Travellers diverged from the Irish about 500 years ago. www.nature.com/articles/srep42187

 

None of the snaps is posed, all are candids.

 

Hope you will like the captures, much thanks for your kind support so far!
