Roads to Ireland

Uploaded: June 21, 2008 09:07:27

Description

This image of the Irish countryside epitomizes much of the country for me--the many castle or estate ruins, the crisp blue skies (when the rain stops), the signs such as this on the back road crossings, the lone walker, and, of course, the green post box.
