COLLECTING TURF, CONNEMARA. In Ireland to-day there are
still vast stretches of this ancient romantic land where the old
ways are still the best. In Connemara, under the blue shadow
of rocky mountain ranges, the patient donkey brings home the
turf-sods which have been skilfully cut and stacked to dry in
the Summer months, and which will warm the thatched cottage
of the fisher-farmer, during the Winter ahead. Cartwheels
would sink in the soft bog, but the donkey's dainty feet pick their
way daintily and efficiently.
PHOTOGRAPHIC DATA: 4x5 Crown Graphic Camera. 270mm. Ektar lens.
