Scenes from West Ireland
Oscar Wilde is very big over here. Street scene in Galway ..and another. Street in Athenry, a small town near where I was staying.... ...famous for its Norman castle, built circa 1240 AD.
Loved to see the photo of Athenree. My Irish mother used to sing a song about that town - like so many of her Irish songs -sad ! She was born in Fermoy, Cork

Yes Shirley , I am too ( enjoying your travel photos ). The last photo could have Rapunzel letting down her hair in the fairy story.
