October 2009 - City of the Tribes (Part 1)

Galway and Cliffs of Moher 
Galway or Gaillimh in Irish, with a population of over 70,000, is Ireland's fifth largest city and is a major hub for visits to West Ireland. It has long since been known as "The City of the Tribes" and this is due to the multicultural vibrancy of present-day Galway.

However I didn't came to Galway to visit Galway, it's more of visiting the Cliffs of Moher...

The Cliffs of Moher is located in County Clare, Ireland. The cliffs rise 120 m (400 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and reach their maximum height of 214 m (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometers away. The cliffs boast one of Ireland's most spectacular views. 
Let the pictures do the talking...Photobucket

It appears to be the remains of a watchtower placed to monitor the coastline for invading fleets during Napoleon's reign in Europe.PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketThe landscape around the Cliff of MoherPhotobucket
