Inishmore, Aran Islands

Inishmore is the largest of the Aran Islands. ( Irish Árainn Mhór) Árainn meaning long ridge. I took this shot standing at Dun Aengus looking south east along the island towards the mainland. Inishmore is approximately 12 kilometres long and on average 2.5 kilometres wide. These cliffs at Dun Aengus are 100 metres high. The small villages in the distance are, to the right, Gort na gCapall and to the left Fearann an Choirce.
