sanatorium

Creagh TB Hospital in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo. It is a desolated place where many suffered and died from the tuberculous disease in the 1940/50's.  It now stands as a monument of sickness and death as the earth slowly takes back the decaying ruins.

Lough Mask

The trail that leads you to Lough Mask in Ballinrobe.  The gate is on a farmer's land and he gave us permission to cross his land and told us we would pass a few more gates but just make sure to close them after you go through.  We did and it took about an hour to get to the lake.

My wife and I are headed to Creeslough and Ards Forest Park to explore for the week so I won't be posting until June 1st .  Have a wonderful week!

saturday critters

came across this beautiful chocolate labrador when on a walk in Ballinrobe a few years ago.  He was taking his owner for a walk and was really shy.  I tried talking to him but he wouldn't look at me so I had to settle for what I could get. :)
