Looking at the lighthouse in the distance like we are looking for more light from this point on!

The knitting related currachs were some of my favourites from the 'Curacha' exhibition at Áras Éanna on Inis Oírr. The white one takes inspiration from knitting motifs, but the black one was actually custom-knit to fit the boat frame! @deirdremckennaart has some great photos if you want to see part of the process. #áraséanna #inisoírr #inisheer #inishere #wildatlanticwayislands #artexhibition #artoutdoors #knitting #knitspo #knitspiration #knitstagram #tricoter #strikking #sticka #instaknit #instaknitting #artinireland #currach #aranislands #irelandwest #irlandia #irland #irlande #irlanda #ireland (at Inis Oirr, Aran Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTmQEGwIRlY/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is Tobar Éinne on Inis Oírr, a holy well attributed to St. Enda - one of the best known saints of the Aran Islands. Did you know that the islands were known as Árainn na Naomh (Aran of the Saints)? There are plenty of old churches and holy sites to see anyway! #inisoírr #inishere #aranislands #holywell #irishruins #irlande #irlandia #irland #irlanda #irland #ireland #irelandwest #irelandgram #instaireland #visitgalway #wildatlanticwayislands #wildatlanticway #lovindotie #lovinireland #dailyireland #stonewalls #drystonewall #islandsofireland #irishlimestone #irishlandscape (at Inis Oirr, Aran Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5wip3Jq3Z/?igshid=wwja9sepxh7e

When I was a child, we visited the graveyard every day in November (Mí na Marbh/Month of the Dead) to pray for our deceased relatives. I'm not sure if this was common in other places? This little house is built over St. Kevin's Bed (Leaba Chaomháin) in the graveyard in Inis Oírr. It's the resting place of the patron saint of the island, Naomh Caomhán/St. Kevin. Before the little house was built, it was completely covered by sand, and was uncovered each year for the saint's feastday on June 14th. #inisoírr #aranislands #inisheer #inishere #winterinireland #wildatlanticwayislands #wildatlanticway #irishgraveyard #graveyard #irelandphotography #instaireland #november #irishheritage #teampallchaomháin (at Inis Oirr, Aran Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHGp6LTpFUO/?igshid=1x26uo13xwadh

This is the Plassy shipwreck side-on, with the Cliffs of Moher in the background. It has been here for 60 years now, suffering a little more damage each year, but still looking striking! (It can be seen how it looked in the 90s in the opening credits of 'Fr. Ted', the tv comedy series.) #plassy #plassyshipwreck #inisheer #inishere #inisoírr #inisoirr #aranislands #aran #wildatlanticway #wildatlanticwayislands #summerinireland #irishscenery #shipwreck #instaireland #irelandwest #irelandgram #lovinireland #irlande #irlanda #ireland #ireland_daily #ireland_insta #ireland_gram #irelandphotography #irelandphotography (at Inisheer) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6AU5KJgga/?igshid=q4u22edy1kkw

The Plassy shipwreck is one of the most iconic sights of Inis Oírr. It was shipwrecked in 1960, thankfully with no loss of life. Unusually for the time and place, there are great photos of the rescue of the crew, taken by John Messenger, who was doing an ethnographic study on the island at the time. You can see the photos in the café at Áras Éanna, the arts centre on the island. #plassy #plassyshipwreck #inisoírr #inisheer #inishere #aranislands #wildatlanticway #wildatlanticwayislands #inisoirr #irishsummer #irishscenery #irelandwest #visitgalway #lovinireland #irelandgram #irlande #irlanda #ireland #instaireland #shipwreck (at Inisheer) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyVOYKpJry/?igshid=2z4rhlpksmi8

A day of sunshine and showers. This is the lake on Inis Oírr; usually home to two swans, but I didn't see them this time! #irishscenery #irishsummer #inisheer #inishere #inisoirr #inisoírr #aranislands #wildatlanticwayislands #irishsky #westofireland #visitgalway #overcastday #instaireland #irelandgram (at Aran Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDE1rcMp9fM/?igshid=njq97dht32jh
