Basketwork Bottoms Creel Creels Distance Donkey Hinged Leading Turf
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a young boy leading a donkey laden with basketwork creels filled with turf, on a winding mountain road in Ireland. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image offers a glimpse into the past, when turf cutting was a common practice for heating homes and cooking in rural areas. The donkey, with its patient expression, carries the weight of the creels with ease, their hinged bottoms allowing for easy access to the turf inside. The creels are intricately woven with basketwork, a traditional craft passed down through generations. In the background, the distant buildings suggest the presence of a small village or town, nestled amidst the rolling hills and verdant landscape. The mountain road, leading to who knows where, adds to the sense of adventure and the simple pleasures of rural life. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a time long past, when life moved at a slower pace and the connection between people and nature was more profound.
