Arriving in Galway we were so fortunate to be upgraded to an apartment with a view. This is overlooking the main square from the deck on our floor.
Had we not had the kids along I’m sure I could easily have spent a couple of days shopping in Galway. You could go anywhere in a matter of minutes but there were malls and high street shops a plenty. Lots of cute little bakeries to sit down and catch your breath and of course finishing off with beers and cozy restaurants.
What I find interesting in this shot is the different qualities of light – cold light to the left and warm light to the right. I did try it in black/white but it lost the magic of the contrast.
Galway was a straight forward train ride right across Ireland. We hadn’t been sure what to expect. Some sources described Galway as the ultimate drinking spot. Other found it charming. I can’t speak for the drinking but we certainly found it charming. It felt good to be in a smaller town with shorter distances, and the main street was one of the best looking ones I’ve seen.
