And here's Crumlin Valley, just outside Cornamóna (Corr na Móna, "pointed hill of the bog"). In the distance to the left is Corcóg, in the Maamturk mountains, which I went up a few weeks ago

Mount Gable (Binn Shléibhe) from the west, on a walk to Crumlin Valley in Connemara yesterday. That's Lough Corrib to the right. Lovely day for a hike
Came across this fox statue somewhere along the coast of Connemara. The second photo shows the Inscription at the foot of the statue, which I believe explains the origin of the word "shenanigans".
Roof destroyed, billboard still standing. I’d suggest contacting the original builder. #Connemara #StormEowyn
An OK film, led me to a really enjoyable Kindle book, then the audio with a superb narrator.
A tale beyond the pale, connecting ancient past to present, a dark mystery found on a lonely road winding through western #Ireland to a #Connemara forest impossible to find on any map.

There's a story I love, probably apocryphal, about a Connemara woman who was asked if she believed in fairies.
"I don't," she said. "But they're there anyway."
A lovely new book of local history and community development in Connemara, Galway, which I had the pleasure of copy-editing:

I love the shape of Benlettery from the north. It's like a big ocean wave in geological time
On the ridge from Benlettery to Bengower in Connemara. A good Sunday hike, and we dodged the showers until the home stretch
The anglicized names obscure the natural Irish ones: Binn Leitrí is "peak of the wet hillsides"; Binn Gabhar is "goats' peak"

Remittance Witch: a twist on the "remittance man" character of #Westerns, set in a constructed #fantasy world. It's basically "a Western with magic".
Aceade's Tales - Writing and other nonsense · The West Connacht Disaster Zone - Aceade's TalesA dark scifi series set in pre-WW1 Ireland, depicting Connemara as the abandoned home of the Firtollán, or the dwarves. Now home of the Fomorians, or orcs.
I've been researching #Connemara in the #1800s lately, and am amazed to learn that it was seen as its own kingdown and it escaped the Penal laws. The Irish people there were amazingly able to educate their kids and practice their religion, and also had very safe and secure tenacies, so very different to the rest of Ireland under #BritishRule.
(#PenalLaws were british laws that Irish people were not allowed speak irish, practice catholicism, own land, have a profession etc).
