Ireland Stone Shortage Not Imminent

The area around Carna, County Galway, has seen little change in the last century. My grandmother was born there in 1880 and the same stone walls remain unchanged since then. This is a great place to shoot with very few people, on the road and steeped with the old Irish culture and history.

Photography Tips

Bring rain gear and a tripod. It is easy to work right out of your rental car on a bike.
