A typical road in the Irish countryside. This one was
just outside the Rathbaun Farm. This lovely heritage farm is situated in a rural area of Southwest County Galway (Ardrahan). The Connolly family has been farming 80 acres of land for over 200 years. Fintan Connolly continues this tradition today. The main livestock raised include are sheep, with some cows and horses. The Rathbaun Farm features a thatched cottage home, turf fire, stone walls and an array of animals. It gives a good idea of the daily workings of a small-scale family sheep farm.












L'acropole des draveurs is the name of this astonishing small trek in the national park "hautes gorges de la malbaie".The trek is roughly 9 km long (go and back), with 800m high to climb in order to reach the view on the picture.At the end a huge cliff... And as some trees get colors it's just a fantastic panorama, one of the very best I have seen in Quebec up to now.
