Photographer’s Note

View, if I could say, on the Blasket Islands from Dunmore Head... a day of mist among others, giving a mysterious atmosphere to the islands.

Those islands, the most western one in Europe, were inhabited until 1953. In 1953 the government ordered the evacuation for the reason that "it was not possible to live anymore in a place so isolated and in so hard conditions".

They are actually populated with sheeps and tourists (reasonably).
