Oranmore is in County Galway about a 10 minute drive to Galway City. We stayed there for a week when we first moved to Ireland. It is also where my paternal grandmother was born in 1870. She emigrated to America around 1900.

all tied up
On one of our morning walks in Oranmore, I came across these boats and liked how they looked in the quietness of the morning. Later, on our way back, they were gone.

ReplyDeleteI like morning walks too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like boats like this. Perhaps they went out fishing?
I have been photographing fishing boats in Greece.... They have beautiful letters and symbols on their boats. Happy weekend to you and yours.
A tranquil scene indeed on a fine morning!

ReplyDeleteThese look like working skiffs. . .very picturesque, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely and evocative!
ReplyDeleteBut your family has come back to Ireland? I love the peaceful image of the boats. Thank you
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice, peaceful setting. I enjoyed my travels through that area several years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are excellent. The boats make a great subject - well-worn, they could probably tell all sorts of tales about the sea and those who sail it! :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos, especially the first. I loved to know her grandmother. A good Sunday and week to come.
ReplyDeleteA typical pretty scene along the west coast. My father's family is from Clare. We've been to the family farmhouse in the pastures between Ennis and Kilrush.
