Perennially green ivy caresses a hand-hewn stone wall from yesteryear against the backdrop of vibrant Autumn colours in the Irish countryside. I captured this enchanting scene during an outing with my cousin. We had been exploring some historic sites in south County Galway and were returning home on one of the many country roads that dissect Ireland's countryside. Having thought I already had the images I set out to get for the day, I nearly missed this pocket of Autumnal vibrance. Fortunately, my cousin was more than happy to turn around and stop here for me.
