Tory Island

October 14, 2015 in Project

An image from one of the many fantastic islands of the coast of the west of Ireland there are to explore. This was taken on Tory Island; a larger island 15km off the north coast of County Donegal measuring three miles long. Dotted along its one road running the spine of the island where these red benches, which stand out in its barren landscape. I am not completely sure of their purpose, to allow elderly islanders to stop along the road or perhaps simply for anyone wishing to stop and admire the view.
