and the Connemara country of County Galway, Ireland.
Photo by John Hinde, FRPS.
Front caption reads, "Clifden, and the 'Twelve Pins,' Connemara, Ireland."
Back caption reads,
"CLIFDEN. Clifden is the 'capital' of Connemara, the region of wild and rugged
grandeur dominated by the rocky mountain range of the Twelve Bens which rise
from a coastline fretted and carved into hundreds of rocky inlets. Connemara has
inspired many famous paintings, and such plays as Synge's immortal 'Playboy
of the Western World' and 'Riders to the Sea'. Much of the coastal region is
Gaelic-speaking and the inhabitants preserve many ancient traits and customs."
