monday mural

A guy who was passing through the area when we were photographing this mural  shared the history depicted in the mural.  He said that in the past, before they built the stairs and stuff along the river, guys would go out with their nets four times a day to catch salmon. It would then be brought out at a hut at the edge of the river. The mural depicts such a scene.

bus washer machine

the bus going through the process of being washed.  The tall metal machine maneuvers on the yellow track and the bus moves forward when it's required.  First time I ever seen this being done.

hand pump

I wonder if it works or is it just for decoration.

nephin mountain

is the second highest mountain in Connacht. Nephin means ‘heavenly’ and the views you can get from it are no contradiction to the name. (Info courtesy of IBUD website)
The river you see is the River Moy and it runs through Ballina where this photo was taken.
