My next few offerings will most likely be from our recent trip to one of the Aran Islands. It really is a beautiful place.
Inis Mor is the largest of the three Aran Islands and Kilronan is the main town on the island. All ferries to Inis Mor dock at the pier. From here you can choose from minibuses, horses and carts or rental bicycles to transport you around the island. If you have enough time you can also explore the island on foot.
While it is the principle town on the island it is really just a small village. It is here you will find the village supermarket, the bank and post office not to mention several pubs and a church.
Our plane lands at Çardak Airport in early morning hours.

Dún Aonghasa (Unofficial anglicised version Dun Aengus) is the best-known of several prehistoric hill forts on the Aran Islands of County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It lies on Inis Mór, at the edge of a 100-metre-high (330 ft) cliff.
A popular tourist attraction, Dún Aonghasa is an important archaeological site.
History
It is not known exactly when Dún Aonghasa was built, though it is now thought that most of the structures date from the Bronze Age and Iron Age. T. F. O'Rahilly surmised in what is known as O'Rahilly's historical model that it was built in the 2nd century BC by the Builg following the Laginian conquest of Connacht.Excavations at the site indicate that the first construction goes back to 1100 BC, when rubble was piled against large upright stones to form the first enclosure. Around 500 BC, the triple wall defenses were probably constructed along the fort's western side.
The 19th-century artist George Petrie called "Dún Aonghasa" "the most magnificent barbaric monument in Europe". Its name, meaning "Fort of Aonghas", may refer to the pre-Christian god of the same name described in Irish mythology, or the mythical king, Aonghus mac Úmhór. It has thus traditionally been associated with the Fir Bolg.
Form and function
The fort consists of a series of four concentric walls of dry stone construction, built on a high cliff some one hundred metres above the sea. At the time of its construction sea levels were considerably lower and a recent Radio Telefis Eireann documentary estimates that originally it was 1000 metres from the sea. Surviving stonework is four metres wide at some points. The original shape was presumably oval or D-shaped but parts of the cliff and fort have since collapsed into the sea. Outside the third ring of walls lies a defensive system of stone slabs, known as a cheval de frise, planted in an upright position in the ground and still largely well-preserved. These ruins also feature a huge rectangular stone slab, the function of which is unknown. Impressively large among prehistoric ruins, the outermost wall of Dún Aonghasa encloses an area of approximately 6 hectares (14 acres).
Today
The walls of Dún Aonghasa have been rebuilt to a height of 6m and have wall walks, chambers, and flights of stairs. The restoration is easily distinguished from the original construction by the use of mortar.[citation needed]
There is a small museum illustrating the history of the fort and its possible functions. Also in the vicinity is a Neolithic tomb and a small heritage park featuring examples of a traditional thatched cottage and an illegal poteen distillery.
I found this graveyard on the island of Inis Mór very haunting - the Celtic Cross gravestones felt like they were people standing there, watching.

A goat in the rocky limestone environment of Inis Mor, Aran Islands. I saw quite a few on my travels, mostly (like this one) quite friendly.
You can read more about the islands here:
here are a few images that I took of several installations at Blue Orange. Currently showing multiple artists.. sculptural work, written word, and 2 dimensional work.
shown in these 5 images is the work by Ini Inaka, Gitu Aura, Chibichibi, and Harbor Galaxy
here the artwork is Ini Inaka's. A swirled particle by Gitu Aura is in the foreground. Loved the way they juxtaposed !
hope you get the chance to visit !

They were really only play fighting :)
Out for a walk late on my final evening on Inis Mór I was lucky enough to photograph these fighting goats. A bit earlier I’d seen one from the road, standing photogenically on a stone, but I hadn’t been fast enough to grab a shot. I was about to go on when I thought I’d go up to the field and have a closer look, at which point I discovered there were actually two of them. They started play fighting over a bit of root that they both clearly adored, and I got some great action shots.

When on the island of Inisheer for a ham radio competition in 2008, I had the privilege to photograph one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. It took me many years, but I have just got around to processing the photos properly.
Inisheer (Irish: Inis Oírr) is the smallest and most eastern of the three Aran Islands in Galway Bay, Ireland. With about 260 permanent residents (2016 census), it is more populous than Inishmaan but less than Inishmore. These photos are taken from beside the primary school, which as it was summer holiday we were able to use as an operating base with power and internet.

So the cable company has taken away 2 of my favorite HD stations (HDNET and HDNET movies) and replaced them with a crazy rural HD station that plays Hee Haw and the Porter Wagner show (in HD!???!). It was glitching a lot so I made lemons into lemonade, again...

Der architektonische Entwurf des INI-Klinikgebäudes vom Münchener Büro SIAT will den abstrahierten Umriss des menschlichen Gehirns darstellen. Der Bau hat einen elliptischen Grundriss mit der größten Ausdehnung von etwa 68 mal 47,2 Metern (Kellergeschoss und 5. Obergeschoss) und verjüngt sich sowohl vom 5. zum 8. Obergeschoss als auch vom 5. Obergeschoss zum Erdgeschoss. Insgesamt ist er 38 m hoch und hat neun Vollgeschosse und ein Kellergeschoss.
