Picture Postcards from Connemara
Some Views of Ireland's Wild West

From Bernd Biege, About.com

Connemara, the rugged landscape north-west of Galway City, has long been regarded as one of the most beautiful landscapes in Ireland. Here you will find small islands facing a wild coastline. You will have to take a ferry or drive across the seabed to reach those islands. Nestled in the leafy mountains you will find grand neo-gothic architecture. Ireland's only fjord will surprise you. And you will see unspoilt landscapes and villages. An ideal place to go if you want to experience the "real Ireland". This image gallery takes you into Ireland's "wild west". Enjoy!
