Visual and other feasts in Galway

I wrote about Don McCullin in a recent post, and how his comment that you don't need a camera, you can just spend time looking and taking in all that you see and that you can feast your eyes everyday, really struck home to me.

I've just been in Galway for the weekend, and as I drove along on Thursday evening, I thought about what he said, and how it really seemed so true as I drove into the huge sky filled with billowy grey and white clouds, grounded by clusters of stone walls and thin trees covered in a light frost of bright green. 

Galway always provides a menu of colour and sound, and this time was no different, from the dainty china cups suspended on ribbons in the window of a tea-room to the spikey-haired tambourine-shaking busker in cowboy boots giving a fabulous bellow of 'Ru-u-beeee.......don't take your love to town' as the sun came out from under the clouds. Fabulous.
