Cow in the Pasture Inishmore Arun Island Ireland monomad

A solitary cow gazes up at Hive account@bxlphabet as he takes a photo on the Arun Island of Inishmore in Ireland. All the other pastures nearby are unused, and the North Atlantic is in the background.

If you look closely, you can see that some of the pastures have been grazed while others have not. Some of the stone walls are being maintained while others are not.

These islands are hard to get to by small ferry boats and have little economy aside from some tourism, livestock, and farming. Some people create knitted works from the wool of sheep. It was a very peaceful stop on the pilgrimage my son took with his youth group and this scene is a reflection of that.

This post of for the monomad daily contest by Hive account@monochromes. Take some of your photos, convert them to black and white, and enter them too. Maybe this fresh look will be as interesting to you as it is to me.

This is my son Hive account@bxlphabet’s photo which inspired my text today. He was using a point and shoot camera for his trip to Ireland. I hope he will return to steemit soon with more of his work. ~ Hive account@fitinfun.
