About 20 minutes drive from the hustle and bustle of the City will land you far enough away from Galway City to find images like this. This property was previously owned by my Uncle, who did a lot of work on these cottages. During the summer this is a site not to be missed when visiting the wilds of Connemara. This cottage is located in Thonwee, Oughterard, Co. Galway.

I am always on the hunt for something special to photograph, I spotted a lovely abandoned cottage miles off in the distance at the foothills of Ben Baun, Connemara.. After an arduous trek to get into the cottage, this little gem was tucked in behind the wall. A beautiful Fordson tractor dating from approx 1905 left to the elements. The funny part of this story is on the way to the cottage with a photographer buddy of mine Larry Morgan, the sole of my very old hiking books fell off. So I trekked in here on one boot and a waterproof sock - it was worth it I think.
