The cathedral in the centre of Galway.

It's hard to take an original photo of this string of houses, situated where the Corrib River meets Galway Bay; I bet that a Google image search would return hundreds of images. That said, they're just so photogenic -- and the lifting fog gave the area a soft light that I hadn't seen them in before. So... I surrendered, and made this....

Galway Ireland

Some wander through life; others march towards destiny. This man, clear eyed, marches with his instrument over one shoulder and amplifier over the other, while the others around him stroll aimlessly. The 'compass rose' tattoo on our lad's right hand speaks volumes. Seen on the streets of Galway Ireland.

Aquí estaba hace un par de años mirando este cielo irlandés en la ciudad de Galway!, en gaélico Gaillimh (de gall y am, "río rocoso") uno de los supuestos orígenes...siempre hay más...

Es una ciudad cosmopolita y bien europea me atrajo rápidamente…había una explicación , es que fue destino habitual de barcos españoles en los siglos XV y XVI, de hecho, en el antiguo muelle están los arcos españoles, allí se recibían las transacciones comerciales , especialmente de vino... "Todo en esta ciudad tiene un aire a España." Nos dice la guía ...No es casual que tras la invasión inglesa muchos de sus ciudadanos migraron a colonias españolas.

Feliz domingo para todos!!!

A wide shot of a stranger that looks a bit cinematic. Look out for strangers in the shadows... If you are only interested in my street photos, I've now created an Instagram account where I'll only post street stuff. Here: www.instagram.com/fergal_flatlight/

Galway Cathedral

Typical colours from the Irish housing palette . . . .

Three generations of structures. Each new generation dwarfs the previous; Each becomes less personal, less 'human scale' than those from the past.

Taken in Galway. Brings to mind the classic Steve Earle composition "Lost my heart to a Galway Girl", This version should make you smile - www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNs0vKDvs0g.

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl

Looking out across Galway Bay with the Aran Islands in the distance to the right. What a beautiful place to walk along the shore.

This fellow and his mates were drawing a huge crowd. I hope they all chipped in some Euro...

Ireland, architecture, facade, door, windows.

I just loved shooting this portrait of a woman working in one of the craft and food stalls in Galway's outdoor market. Note the crazy-high ISO; I'd forgotten to reset the camera after having attempted (and failed at) some astrophotography the night before.

Full of colour and music, Galway city is a fun place to spend a day… these were our favourite musicians playing the Chapmanstick, new to us! Invented in the 1970’s, an electric stringed instrument that sounds amazing.

HWW!
