North Atlantic Skyline - - Photographs from the west of Ireland (Galway, Mayo, Clare, Limerick, Roscommon and even Leitrim)

You can lead a horse to, well, you know...

Sean was wondering if all the religious pictures that appeared on the site in the last week or so had any significance. Well, I do have a confession to make - I've been on the road for the last couple of weeks, and as a result, to use one of my mother's phrases, I've hardly had time to bless myself.

I did manage to get to two horse fairs last week end - Westport on Saturday and Ballinasloe on Sunday. I hope to post galleries on both by the end of this week - the shot above was taken on Sunday evening - as the Dublin/Galway traffic inched through the town, there were plenty of happy buyers leading their newly aquired nags to trailers and a new life. Not all of the nags went willingly.
