Go Ireland is the web site run by Bord Failte (Irish Tourist Board) to help visitors find places to stay and see in Ireland. They run regular photo competitions, one of which I entered in 2008 when we were living in the U.S.  I heard nothing back about the results and only recently discovered that Go Ireland were using one of my photos on their web site when the lady who owns the horses in the photo contacted me to ask for a copy! The online copy is at http://www.goireland.com/galway/ballyconneely.htm where it’s used to publicize the undoubted charms of a small village/region called Ballyconneely on the western seaboard of Ireland, a place that I have been visiting regularly since 1971.

In any case, I am always happy to help a good cause – and very happy to see the photo used in this way.
