On the north coast of Northern Ireland, in County Antrim between Carnlough and Waterfoot, lies the hidden village of Galboly, an abandoned village in the hills above the sea. According to available information, the village never had more than sixty residents, but declined until the only resident was a Cistercian monk named Veder O'Kane who died in 1973. The village is now a collection of ruined houses and outbuildings and is reached by a walk up a rough track. It is no longer as "hidden" as it once was since being used in filming "Game of Thrones." This photo is of one of the ruined houses and of the peaks beyond.

Taken on the North Coast road in Northern Ireland near Torr Head.

Slemish is an old volcanic cone in County Antrim where Patrick is said to have herded sheep while a slave-boy in Ireland. It is also a landmark that is visible for many miles and, if climbed, a wonderful viewpoint. This picture was taken on our last visit to Ireland and was taken either by my wife or my daughter-in-law. I am not sure which one of them took it. The day has special meaning for us, since it was on a March 17th that we moved with our family to Northern Ireland and were there for nearly 10 years. While there we lived in County Antrim within view of Slemish.
