There’s a very narrow pathway laid out along the Cliffs, bounded by a steep drop to the ocean below and an electrified fence on the other, protecting, I guess, these cows.
To get a sense of scale of the Cliffs of Moher, take a look at the tower and the people in the top right of the last picture and the top left in the middle one.
We stopped at lots and lots of castles and other ruins.

Our first stop after leaving Galway town was a roadside stop to capture the Screebe Falls, but there were some other things of interest there as well. Click any image to see them all enlarged (in your browser).
We spent the first two weeks of August, traveling around Ireland. We started in Galway and proceeded more or less counter-clockwise, including time in Ulster, then Donegal, before traversing the island to Dublin and our flight home. I shot over 1000 frames, so expect to see lots of verdant landscapes, castles and other postcard-genre, tourist shots over the coming days and weeks.
The tour was designed for photographers and their non-photographer partners and I was expecting to travel around in a small coach. In fact we were in one of those gigantic modern buses. The first couple of days in Galway town were quite rainy but then we got on the bus and left. Here are a few snaps through the window of the bus before we made our first stop.
