The man in the photo is the owner, who was nice enough to give me carte blanche access to the place. He said, before he bought it, that he had snuck in and looked around, and wouldn’t want to deprive me of the same priviledge. ;)
A natural stone tower by the Cliffs of Moher

Another view of the Irish Coast looking out to sea across Galway Bay.
We stopped briefly to view the coast line during the day tour of the Burren, and I took advantage of the time to snap a few photos of the cliffs and the water pounding against the stone.
On the day tour of the Burren we drove along the coast looking out into Galway Bay and passed this little lighthouse standing guard.
Even way back in Irelands history, Kings have considered the Cliffs of Moher a tourist attraction. This tower was built to allow safe viewing of the cliffs.
Another view of Irish scenery from that cemetery in Rosscarbery. Of the time I spent there, I think that half hour in that cemetery was what I enjoyed most. I just love the very very old feeling and the beauty of the celtic crosses and gravestones.
Fishing boats in Ireland are called Hookers. In fact, later on I have a photo of one moored that was called the "Happy Hooker". This one was out for some reason while we were crossing Galway Bay on our way to the Aran Islands.
