This past weekend I visited lovely Achill Island in western Ireland. Achill is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.
Saturday afternoon I took a short hike on Slievemore Mountain and discovered an ancient Deserted Village. Crumbling stone buildings and winding rock walls scattered the breath-taking rolling green hills.
Up in the mountains it is incredibly peaceful. My only companion was the sound of the gurgling streams lining the dirt path and winding down the hills. The soft breeze caressing my face and rustling my coat. A place for reflection and calm.
Beyond my excursion into the countryside, which allowed for some wonderful photography, the rest of the weekend was filled with flying drones, new friends, and a lively pub crawl.
A big thank you to the Drone Conference organizers (who introduced me to one of the most magical places in Ireland) and to Pure Magic Lodge (the place to stay in Achill) for a fabulous weekend. Wish I was still there.
