And even when resources and options are limited, one can see ingenuity at its best with people coming up with amazingly creative potions and home fermented brews!

Ireland


The Irish countryside unfolds like a dazzling green patchwork quilt, but the hundreds of miles of hand-built limestone walls that cut the farmlands into odd geometrical shapes aren't just beautiful to behold. It also serves as a fascinating living history of thousands of years of Irish land ownership. This photo was taken in County Clare in the spring of 2012. This is just one of the undiscovered gems in Ireland.
