Photographer’s Note

We stopped at a jewelry factory in Connemara, where one family had been quarrying the green Connemara marble for generations. Their quarry at Lissoughter in the Connemara mountains first opened in the 19th century. This ruined cottage was located across the street. Connemara (Conamara) is fairly large; it consists of fairly rocky terrain comprised of various peninsulas. The main town is Clifden. The area is also rich with megalithic tombs.
