You Can't See The Blood Spatter From Up Here...

Last night I saw The Lieutenant of Inishmore, a hilarious and bloody Satire of the IRA and the splinter groups associated with Ireland. In any case when I was looking around at my art blogs, i discovered this photo of Inishmore by the same fellow that did the last photo, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, who specializes in aerial photography.

Besides containing some of the best Pre-Historic ruins in Europe, the country side of Inishmore Island is also covered in a Network of some 7,500 miles of low walls, designed to keep the wind from blowing what little soil they actively seeded the island with, from being eroded away.
