Lost my heart in Galway and the Aran Islands

The Cliffs of Moher in Doolin, near Galway, on the west coast of Ireland. They have become a huge tourist attraction after being used in the films The Princess Bride and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but unfortunately it is almost always foggy there so it is difficult to get a clear shot of the cliffs.
An overgrown stonewall and door on the outskirts of Kilronan, the largest town on Inis Mor, the biggest of the three Aran Islands.
An alternate view of the Cliffs of Moher that also captures O'Brien's Tower.
A stonewall that divides the property lines and roads on Inis Mor.
Inis Mor, as well as the other two Aran Islands, are covered in tons and tons of stone, so the locals are forced to use it as building materials both for their walls and their houses, as there is no other way to get rid of it.
