The shops in Clifden, Co. Galway, Ireland feature some really lovely art. It’s a pity I couldn’t get better photos of a fox and squirrel which were made from rusty iron. The reflections from the shop window made it very difficult to get a decent photo. However, I was able to get a decent photo of these two china bulls.
Clifden was also the resting place for the first aircraft to make a non-stop transatlantic flight. The pilot mistook a green area for pasture but it was in fact bog and the landing gear sank into the bog and was destroyed. I’ll write more about that later.

I bet sinking the landing gear into a bog made for an exciting landing! 
Interesting artwork... About how big are the bulls?

It is great you can admire the art while you go shopping !I wonder if there were passengers who got injuried in the accident.

The Bulls look well made.
This place must be having good collections for the tourists to buy.
A nice share !

You reminded me of the buffalo in Buffalo, USA. We were on our way to watch the Niagara Falls

Nice bulls. Did the occupants survive the landing?

I personally do some 3d artwork using paper mache and wires. Its not easy but when its done its worth it.

Good for you. That must be a very absorbing hobby. Maybe one day you can put up a photo of your work.
