Ireland
In 2019 Shirley and I traveled with friends to Scotland and Ireland. We spent about a week in Ireland with two photography guides and several other photographers, starting on the northwest coast of the Republic of Ireland and making our way up to the north coast of Northern Ireland.

Londonderry, Northern Ireland is still riven by religious hatreds. The IRA and their progeny are leftists and identify with other rebels against ruling parties. The mural reflects Che Guevara’s birth name. He had Irish blood from his father’s side of the family.
Memories are long.
