Inniskea

Had a great day today ! Well I am posting so late it was really yesterday! Patricia and I went with other members of Mayo Photographic Club to the Inniskea Islands off the coast of Blacksod. The weather was fantastic though the sun was almost too bright but we had a fantastic day. The Islands are now deserted, but both have "deserted villages" as evidence of their past inhabitation. The houses are almost on the beach and on a day like today would seem to be an idyllic location, but we can only imagine how hard life must have been in the winter months, and the island experienced a number of tragedies which resulted in them becoming deserted.
