Irelands answer to Stonehenge.. The Irish photo rally
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:12 pm
I've posted up photos before from the annual Irish photo rally http://irishphotorally.com/year/2014
Yesterday I decided to take a spin out West to Achill henge for rally point 20 ( one of the more unusual ones) before it's removed due to a lack of planning permission and before the tourist buses start clogging up the roads. There are plenty of good photos online , but with overcast conditions and poor light I just snapped a few quickies and contemplated the concrete slabs without feeling the vibe, then headed to the next planned stop near Tuam in Galway.
(I wasn't on my S , the roads out that way (for me) are a little unforgiving for a full day in the saddle.)
The sun did appear later in the day
