EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative image of a bygone era in the Irish countryside. In this photograph, piles of freshly cut turf sit atop the rugged terrain of Lough Shindilla in Connemara, County Galway. The turf, a traditional fuel source for Irish homes for centuries, has been meticulously harvested from the peatlands, a practice that has shaped the Irish landscape and industry for generations. A group of donkeys, their coats glistening in the sunlight, stand nearby, their strong backs laden with turves. Donkeys have long been a vital part of the turf-cutting process in Ireland, their sure-footedness and strength making them the ideal companions for the arduous task of transporting the heavy turves from the bog to the stacks. The image transports us to a simpler time, where the rhythm of the seasons and the natural world dictated the pace of life. The 20th century may have brought many changes to Ireland, but the image of turf stacks and donkeys remains a powerful symbol of the country's rich history and heritage. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Irish people, who have adapted to the challenges of their environment and made the most of the natural resources available to them. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the past, even as we move forward into the future.
