Amazing Ireland

Our trip to Ireland was fabulous. We visited the counties of Mayo, Galway (Connemara), Clare, Kerry and Cork - most of the west coast basically.
We rented a car and rode 2200 km on the narrow roads of Ireland, cutting through spectacular scenery. Every turn of the road revealed spectacular sights, so we would stop a hundred times a day to take pictures and enjoy the view.
Nature, wildness, and ... sheeps. They are just everywhere !
I've been really impressed by Ireland and its diversity :
In Connemara, pine forests and lakes just like I would imagine in Canada,
and straight deserted roads going through nowhere just like I imagine in Midwest, USA,
In Kerry, sand beaches and clear water just like in the Caribbean;
and so many surrealistic sights enhanced by the most beautiful sky and light at sunset.

Hope you enjoy the pictures !
If you do, just go there : if you like nature and hiking, and you don't wanna be one of a crowd, you'll love it.
